Best Answer

Dairy cows are the most typical and common cows that will get ketosis. Symptoms include loss of appetite, decreased milk production, weight loss, acetone (stinky) breath, nervousness, mucus-covered hard feces, and even will become downers. In confined operations, the best signs are cows that have a reduced appetite and seem to go more for the fodder than the grain in their rations.
