Cows are hard to kill. My mother is a veterinarian and a professor of hers once told this story: He was on a farm treating a cow for calcium deficiency (common for dairy cows), which is easy to treat, you just pump a bunch of nutrients directly into the cow and they'll go from being more or less incapacitated to healthy in a short span. So there he was, IV into the cow and hooks up the bottle to it and empties it int…

Why did he have Lysol in an IV though?! Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannulated_cow

It's a good question that I don't know the answer to. This happened decades ago and is third hand at this point, so take it with a grain of salt (but check that it's actually salt first, and not, you know, Lysol).
