[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1196529, member: 12607"] Rego, I had a uterine tear during a difficult delivery 25 years or so ago - I'm guessing the uterus got 'bunched up' as I was pulling the calf, and it tore(really more of a linear 'burst'). I always stick my hand/arm in there to make sure there's not a second calf lurking (yeah, they can both be BIG). Immediately felt the tear. Reached farther in, got a good grip and prolapsed the whole thing. Of course, air rushed into the abdomen through the tear, so once I'd (quickly) sewed up the tear, I had a hard time replacing the prolapse because of all the air now inside the cow. It's fuzzy(not funny) now, but I think I had to stick a couple of 12 ga needles in it to let some of the air out so I could replace it - kinda like trocharizing a rumen. But...I finally got it back in, and the cow was fine; but I was sweating it for a while. [/QUOTE]
