What first aid should I do at home?
This is an emergency down buffalo, and she needs urgent help today. Keep her chest-down on her sternum, never flat on one side. Put thick dry bedding under her, turn her gently every few hours, and keep the hind part slightly raised if you can. Do not pull her up with ropes, do not force-feed, and do not pour water into her mouth if she is weak. If she is bloated, walk her slowly and massage the left side. If she is cold or weak, keep her warm and shaded. Give clean water only if she is fully awake and swallowing. Book a Pashu Vet on Pashushala now, or call one nine six two, because a down buffalo can worsen fast and may die from bloat, shock, or pressure injury. Treating this now is far cheaper than losing a good milking buffalo.
