Walking problems

This a case that a friend have sent me. We are looking for the right solution, GIVE YOUR OPINION!

Hi Adrian:

I send you the first Usún cows´ video.

I have injected voren, selenium and catosal a week agowith no improvenment. The worst thing is that there are two more cows walking like this one but not so much affected, the owner is worried because he has 25 cows and 4 have the same problem. This herd is year round in the bush and they don´t eat any concentrate.
From my point of view, it is a nervous tropism intoxication or some deficiency.

The owners say that two months before the rain the cows may have drunk the village´s sewages. Anyway they say that maybe the field where the cows were feeding had been treated with a pesticide. I think this cause is more likely
Chisco.

THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF THE CASE:

I send you the second video. This is another cow picked up three days ago from the mountains. She is in better conditions than the other video´s one but she has problems in their back legs and the front ones do some of parade step.

All of them are hock closed rachitic. I don´t know if it is primary or secondary their “parade walking”

Awaiting your reply.
