Diarrhea Pregnant Cow

[ElizabethStudent]

Good evening!

I bought a new cow and she arrived about 6 days ago. Daily we give all three cows small, fresh pasture starting on the day the new cow arrived. All cows are 100% hay/pasture. The next two days, all three cows had a loose stool. It has since firmed up in the two cows who were here for the last 5 years. The new cow continues to have loose stool. It smells like cow poop and doesn’t have discharge or blood or look weird. The cow is due to calve at the end of the month/beginning of June (bull exposure and confirmed pregnancy by a vet but no “hard date”). If it were all the cows, I would add some boiled blackberry root tea to the water trough and not worry about it much since the new grasses are coming in and the stress of moving but because the new cow is pregnant, I wasn’t sure if 1. I should worry 2. should do anything 3. what’s safe? Any guidance thoughts or guidance Doc?

Thanks!
