Momma Not Doing well

[RustyRanch]

So this morning at about 5am I wake up to Lucy calf bawling her head off, this is very strange she hardly ever talks. So I look out and I can see her but not her Momma Miss Ethel. I quick throw on some jeans and go out side. I can see both Mom and baby. Momma is standing in a "daze" inside the hay feeding barn and baby is standing in the shelter barn, mind you there are about 15ft at the most apart. Lucy is bawling her head off and Momma is just standing there. Normally if Lucy talks Momma will answerer right back and baby will run over to her. But not this morning, Momma just stood there in a daze. I walked up to her and petted her and rubbed on her and she bearly even acted like I was there. I gave her a nudge to see if she would walk out to show her baby it was OK and she stumbled and almost fell down.
This scared me alot!!

I put the halter on her and got her to walk a bit but she is not very sturdy at all. I walked her a bit and lead her over to some nice green grass that we have had fenced off from them to give it a chance to really grow. She ate some but still just seams in a daze.

I look at the hay barn and it looks like she hasn't eaten hardly anything in the last two days, (this is when we put a new bale in). I know her and Lucy have been held up in the between the two barns now for the last 2 days just because we have had some really crazy weather, even a funnel cloud, not to far from us here in Washington, non stop thunder and lightning, hail and just flat out hard downpour rain.

Lucy will be 3 months old this week this week and is still nursing sometimes, and Momma still had milk when I milked her a little to see if she had any, but this is all very very strange. Has anyone had or seen anything like this? Any idea's as to what to do?

If possible, I would get a vet in straight away.

OK so there is no temp and she is starting to do a lot better. More steady and responding to baby. I am wondering if she may have eaten something funny. I have walked around the field to look for any signs of anything just not right and didn't find anything strange. The only thing "not normal" I have found is up next to the two barns where they have been hanging out in the weather were some mushrooms. Could she have eaten some and got herself "high"?

Last year at this time my brothers Mastiff dog ate some mushrooms on his property and was having very similar symptoms as Miss Ethel, when they took her to the vet the vet asked about mushrooms on the property and sure enough they found some. Is this something that a cow can have issues with also?

As for my vet he can't come today,because of the holiday but said to call in the morning with an update to see if he needed to make a trip over.

i assume by no temp you mean the temp is normal, are there no other symptoms? you say she is off her feed this could be several things. have you changed something about the feed lately? how is her stool? does she show signs of bloat? is the calf eating? if this cow could not walk with out stumbling there is a problem that should be evident. that is strange, there is only 5 hours from your first to your last post, i would still have the vet do an inspection. is she getting the appropriate minerals for your area. do you have poisonous snakes in your area?
