I have no real symptoms to offer, one day wife noticed something a little weird with her chewing and swallowing, and then quickly a tongue is hanging out

You've had all kinds of excitement. I can picture the scene with you all working to pull that calf. 😁

A trying couple of days there Jon. I haven't heard of woody tongue, could have a different name depending on where you are. 👍

Me neither. Tough to watch her struggle to eat. But she was in no pain that we could tell

What's the name of the bull? Seems friendly.

@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 11 ай бұрын

We call him baby bull. We do need to come up with a better name. He was a little kid that we saved his life when he was born. I went by the pasture and he was only a few days old and he was laying there breathing really fast. Later that day he was in the same spot and you could see on his mom he had not been nursing. We quenched him with some sugar and Tylenol cold medicine and resorb. Next day did it again because he was still looking sick and didn't nurse. All of a sudden he gets up starts walking went over and drank from Mom and never slowed down since

So I’m curious! Is this contagious to humans when we eat cow tongue?

Can't imagine how it could be. Processors will catch things that can't go through. For the money we got paid ,she ended up at on a Cisco truck hauling to restaurants.

Most of the "disease" is internal bugs in the cow going into an infection.

I've never seen or heard of woody tongue disease. What is the cause.

@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 11 ай бұрын

The vet told us that if there's damage to the tongue it's an internal bacterial that causes the problem

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I would say dexamethasone but could abort the calf. What antibiotic do they have her on?

@@danw6014 I don't know what it was called but there was an IV treatment that yeah more than likely would have lost the calf. And the vet that has treated it before said that it usually comes back around. Now you got a vet bill and taking care of a cow for a month before you can get rid of her

@@jonstevensmaplegrovefarms3754 I would bet they put her on oxytetracycline. Especially my own animals and the horses that I am responsible for, there is a sense of failure on my part that I let them down. Even though there is often nothing I can do to prevent a lot of things that happen to them. I'm betting you feel the same for your cow. Real wish you the best of luck with her and hopefully her calf as well.

Stemmy plants or even some sort of junk can cause it. See it more with herds during winter months with slough or poorer quality hay. We might have a cow once every 2 years get it. No real correlation that I've noticed for anything except diet.

Thanks. The frustrating part is that big mom cow couldn't get to a butcher. Everyone is very backed up. She would have had a massive brisket and steaks, the loin side of your porterhouse would have been the size of your phone!
