[QUOTE="Avalon, post: 628974, member: 7275"] Ok cowboys and cowgirls. I'm in uncharted territory and dont want to call on a vet. (yet) We had a heifer that "tried to calve about 60 days ago. The calf died in the canal. We were a bit late getting to the pasture. Calf was to big plus he was presented by the nose only with the front legs completley under him. We were very invasive as we worked at pushing him back in. all we were able to to is get one leg and the head. We pulled and pulled for what seemed an eternity and finally got the calf out. She was not prolapsed but we did give her LA 200 and a shot of lutylise to clean her up. I let her have one natural heat then implanted her with a group of cows. (heres the but and the question) When I went to put the CIDR in, I noticed that it was unusally awkward getting it to the cervix. when I pulled the gun out there was blood on it. This was 15 days after her last heat so I know she was not sluffing. Then when I pulled the CIDR yesterday. There was an unusual amount of puss which came out with the CIDR. What would you guys do in this situation? Go ahead and breed her and see what happens? or treat her with something? If so what? Thanks for any input.. I just hate calling the vet.. [/QUOTE]
