How do I get my cow to stand?

I am not going to give you an answer because you MUST, first and foremost, find out why she cannot stand before you force her to do something she either does not want to or cannot do. To do this, you must contact your local large animal veterinarian: this is imperative!! She may be down for a wide variety of reasons, not just hard birthing: Milk Fever, Ketosis, mineral deficiency, broken leg, broken pelvis, broken spine, starvation, dehydration, infection, the lost goes on. PLEASE CONTACT YOUR VET to get a proper diagnosis in order to find out whether your cow can be helped to stand again, or whether it's too late and you have no choice but to put her down.
