The pregnant dairy cow slipped and fell on some ice at WSU’s Dairy Center today and fractured her hind leg. Euthanasia was the only reasonable option. The cow was only three weeks away from delivering twin calves however, so the decision was made to provide pain relief, euthanize her, and take the calves by Caesarian section. tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:00:00 PST http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/announcements/Henderson/ http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/announcements/Henderson/ Obituary for Dean Emeritus, Dr. James Arnold Henderson, Dean of the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine from 1963-1973.
