Here's why:
* Milk fever (Parturient paresis) is a metabolic disorder that occurs shortly after calving due to low blood calcium levels. It primarily affects the cow's nervous system causing muscle weakness, tremors, and sometimes coma.
* Bloody stool is a sign of digestive issues like:
* Gastrointestinal ulcers: These can be caused by stress, poor diet, or infections.
* Inflammatory bowel disease: This can be caused by bacteria, parasites, or other factors.
* Trauma: Injury to the digestive tract can cause bleeding.
* Parasites: Some parasites can cause bleeding in the intestines.
* Poisoning: Certain toxins can damage the digestive tract and cause bleeding.
If you see bloody stool in your cow, it's important to contact a veterinarian immediately. They can help diagnose the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment.
