[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1365166, member: 12607"] Pshaw. 45 minutes? Ha. Only one I ever saw that quickly was one that I prolapsed intentionally, to suture a uterine tear I felt when I reached in after I pulled the calf to make sure there wasn't another one in there. I guarantee you that in most cases, it took more than 45 minutes for a client to find me and get me there... much less if the prolapse had been out for a while before they found the cow/heifer with it hanging out. Can't remember encountering a uterine prolapse that I couldn't get back in... and I'm only aware of one that didn't survive... big Limousin heifer... it was hanging almost all the way to the ground... in retrospect, I suspect that she'd ruptured a uterine artery before I got there and put it back in. Owners said she dropped over dead about the time I went out of sight over the hill. Always kept at least a couple of 5-lb bags of sugar in the truck to pull the fluid out of the ones that had been out long enough to get swollen and hard. Did see a couple of vaginal prolapses that I couldn't replace. Worst was a 3/4Brahman-1/4Bison heifer that had a round vaginal prolapse about volleyball size...the hole it came out of... you couldn't stick your finger through. I don't know how she did it. And she was wilder/crazier than ol' Ned. [/QUOTE]
