A three-yeаr-оld, multipаrоus Hоlstein cow is 30-dаys-in-milk. The dairy producer has noted that her milk production has dropped abruptly from 80lb per day to 37lb. He has also noted that the cow is anorexic. On physical examination, the vital parameters are within normal limits. An audible ping can be heard while auscultated over the left paralumbar fossa.
