[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1294255, member: 12607"] There are different ways of doing C-sections; I don't even remember what they taught me in vet school, 30+ years ago... probably a standing flank approach - which I've never done, and never seen done. We all have our preferred technique. Vet school classmate talked me through how to do one in our first year out of school; I don't know that the vet I started out working for (he had been in practice for 10 years before I came) had ever done one. I always did a ventral midline incision, with the cow knocked out with IV ketamine... usually by the time I was closing skin, she'd be kicking a little, and they'd usually be right up on their feet after I untied them. Have had two done by veterinarians from two different local veterinary practices in the past 15 years; both did ventral midline approaches; one gave a big (60ml) epidural and cast the cow with ropes, the other sedated the cow with Rompun. In both cases, cow and calf both survived. Both cows took a while to get up. [/QUOTE]
