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.

  1. Might be hard to answer, but any relation between the 4. If a toxin, I'm not sure treatment at this point is going to be successful. Time might be the only thing that might help. I'd remove other cows from pasture if possible.
