I have a 6 month old holstein steer that the vet thinks has laminitis. (young vet - based on only by looking at calf & feet - no diagnostics otherwise) I've never dealt with laminitis in cows, only in horses. Is there any chance of him pulling thru & living long enough to butcher or is he a lost cause? Vet has been out & we trimmed his feet & gave banamine for 4 days but he still doesn't really want to get up & walk much, just tends to "walk" on his knees. Still has a good appetite, solid calf & very alert. Was on 20/20 milk replacer first 2 months or so, has been on somewhat free-choice 12% protein pelleted feed since a couple weeks old & free choice grass hay. Vet recommended putting him on 15-16% protein feed. Any recommendations that might help or would it just be a waste of money to try & save him?
