    Help!! heifer hunching and leaking urine out of vulva

    no she doesnt seem to be kicking or anything and still wants to eat. She is a young girl.. not sure when cows are old enough to breed or should be bred I should say..If she was bred it would have been way before we got her. Her hips are sunk in, and her vulva does look swollen..could it be a UTI?

    what would be the dosage for cydectin..and basically are we saying to treat symptomatically? How do u know if its worm infestation or mineral deficiency..some of the symptoms seem similar in comparison.
