Hello. While Kal Kan certainly does not fit in with all the high priced "boutique" pet foods that are available now, it is a brand that has been around practically forever, meets the requirements for complete nutrition for dogs, & is very reasonably priced. It should be fine to feed to your pets. Take care.

Vitamin A is vital to a cow's health at all life stages. A cow that doesn't have enough may not be able to get pregnant, or may have slowed or no growth. In most cases, pasture-fed cattle should get enough Vitamin A from grazing, however it may need to be supplemented during the winter with a vitamin/mineral feed block in addition to grain/silage feeding. Dairy cows or cows that aren't pastured should also have it supplemented to prevent deficiency. For supplementing, the current NRC (2001) requirement for supplemental vitamin A is 50 IU/lb of body weight (BW) or about 70,000 to 77,000 IU/day for an adult cow, however if you have good pasture or are using a vitamin block you shouldn't need to measure out the exact amount unless you are sure your cow is clinically deficiency (which should be confirmed by a vet.)

The most common cause of coughing in cattle is known as shipping fever (though it doesn't have to happen with shipping), a disease process commonly occurring with cows that have undergone more stress than usual. There are two organisms that can commonly be responsible for this disease, both of which will require an antibiotic to treat. If you go to a farming store to obtain antibiotics, you should look for one that is labeled for the treatment of bovine respiratory disease, specifically against Manheimia and Pasturella. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to hear Ammu isn't doing well. I would continue to follow the treatment your vet recommended, and if she doesn't urinate or defecate, or seems in severe distress/ill, have the vet back out again to take another look and see if additional treatment is needed.

283 days is the typical gestation length for a cow, so if she is close to her due date and off her feed it may be that she is going into labor. You may notice strange behavior, swelling of the vulva, an increased amount of milk in her udders, and the beginning of discharge. However, if she seems in great distress, doesn't go into labor and produce a calf, or seems to be in labor and can't pass the calf, it would be best to seek veterinary care in person immediately as the calf may be stuck and need to be pulled, or there may be an underlying illness causing issue.
