[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1732529, member: 968"] NO antibiotics unless she is showing signs of being SICK. Years ago everyone called the vet out and had them "unbutton" the placenta if cow didn't clean. And, vet would put antibiotic boluses inside her when he was done. Research has shown that the cow will breed back faster if you leave her alone. The cow has natural bugs that will eat up all the little pieces left behind inside of her and get her repro tract ready to re-breed. If you give antibiotics, you KILL the good bugs that will clean her out. Do not clean her out. Do not treat with antibiotics - UNLESS she is sick. A shot of PG (Lute) after about 10-14 days will help her body "clean out" faster by expelling the "junk" left behind. Yes, she will get stinky - leave her alone. If she has the whole afterbirth hanging, you can knot it up so she is not dragging or stepping on it. The extra weight helps it to detach and slide out. [/QUOTE]
