I've had really bad luck lately with cattle that had trouble like that. Vet never could give me an answer, but I am sure it wasn't the same. I sold three that were going lame, had two die, and shot one that couldn't stand. She was kind of the same but got worse quick and quit getting up. She was such a good old cow I hated for that to happen.
You don't say how big it is but it must be small if you can help it up. If you don't mind the trouble I say give it time. You've got nothing to lose. If it isn't suffering then wait it out. If it can stay up for an hour there's a chance things will play out. Is it stiff legged when it walks or show other lameness? May just be the muscle necessary to get up. Those may right with time enough to get by. Sounds like a "kill cow" at the sale barn (if it will walk lame).
