If you see a dairy cow which has calved 36 hours ago and is characterized by (A) rise in temperature and excitement, (B) unsteady movement and stiffness of gait, (C) sitting with its head turned backward and looking at its abdomen. Which among the following measures will you adopt?
1. Addition of calcium in the ration
2. Give calcium borogluconate injection
3. Inflate each quarter of udder with air, massaging with tied teats
4. Cows should be partially milked during the 1st three days after calving
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

Diagnosis:
The symptoms suggest hypocalcemia (milk fever), a metabolic disorder in dairy cows.
Correct Measures:
✅ Option 2: Give calcium borogluconate injection
Immediate treatment of hypocalcemia.
Provides readily available calcium to the bloodstream.
✅ Option 3: Inflate each quarter of udder with air, massaging with tied teats
Helps stimulate muscle function and may reduce pressure-related pain.
Though not a standard modern practice, it was historically used in some places.
✅ Option 4: Cows should be partially milked during the first three days
Reduces sudden calcium drain from the bloodstream.
Prevents full milk letdown, thus reducing the risk of milk fever.
Incorrect Measure:
❌ Option 1: Addition of calcium in the ration
Not sufficient alone for acute cases.
More of a preventive long-term strategy than a treatment.
