* Impaction: This occurs when the insulation becomes lodged in the cow's digestive tract and cannot be passed. This can cause the cow to become constipated and eventually stop eating.
* Intestinal perforation: This occurs when the insulation punctures the cow's intestine. This can lead to peritonitis, a serious infection of the abdominal cavity.
* Death: In some cases, a cow can die from complications related to eating insulation.
If you think your cow may have eaten insulation, it is important to contact a veterinarian immediately.
