[QUOTE="Vicky the vet, post: 196429, member: 1026"] Wow, do you ever hold us in high regard! I've done well over 1000 c-sections in all species except horses, and I've lost 2. One fell over and flipped her open incision down in a fresh pile of manure....guess that trying to pull the calf for 12 hours before calling me tired her out...she died of infection.
