There's one of two things: nerve damage that prevents her rear legs from functioning properly, or she has milk fever. For treating cases of paralysis in her, see the related question below. If she has milk fever, get the veterinarian out NOW.

How long before a cow dries up after giving birth if you continue to milk the cow?
A cow will never dry up if you keep milking her. That's the bottom line.
Can you breed a Holstein bull to a jersey cow?
Yes, but you may end up with that Jersey cow having problems giving birth to a large calf. Holsteins are not really known for giving small calves like Jerseys are, so either consider breeding a Jersey bull to a Holstein cow, or don't breed your Jersey cow to a Holstein bull at all.
Can a longhorn cow be bred with a charolais bull?
Yes, but you have a very likely chance that the cow will have trouble giving birth. This is because Charolais are notorious for siring large calves, and since Longhorns are known for birthing small birth-weight calves, you could land yourself in a heap of trouble. You could end up loosing the cow for all it's worth. If you want a Charolais-Longhorn mix in your herd, you're better off breeding a Longhorn bull with a Charolais cow. This is because the cow will have much less trouble giving birth than if you breed vice versa.
How long before a cow dries up after giving birth?
She will dry up after her calf is weaned or you stop milking her. So, typically, she will dry up 6 to 10 months after giving birth, if she is kept to produce milk for that period of time. If she has produced a dead calf and you don't have any serrogate calves you can put on her, or have no use to use her for milk production, then she should dry up after a few days to a couple weeks.
After a cow calves should you milk her or not?
It depends. Is she a beef cow or dairy cow? Are you wanting to keep the cow with the calf or separating the calf from the cow? Usually with beef cows you don't bother with milking them unless you have to because the calf isn't up and suckling soon after birth and you want to encourage the calf to be up and suckling, or to get some milk from a cow or heifer that won't accept her calf right away to feed that calf with. With dairy cows, though, if you've separated the calf from the cow right away, it's ideal to milk that cow to collect the colostrum to feed that calf--and other calves--to the benefit of the calf's health. But, if you are wanting to keep the calf with the cow for a couple of days, then no, it's not necessary.

Will a cow dry up before giving birth?
Yes and no. Most cows will start lactating a week or so before parturition, some the day before or of parturition, hence the no part of the answer. However, a cow will be dried up two to four months, depending on the type of cow and/or when her calf was last weaned from her, before her expected due date. Hence the "yes" part of the answer.
