[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 25170"] Just received my vet bill yesterday (oh joy!). I had a C-section performed on a heifer that I picked up (wish I could give the guy who sold her a swift kick, cause when his cattle were selling they were supposed to have been bred to a Red Angus bull...what a liar! That calf was Simmental sired, and by the size of the bone, would have been a good bull for a mature cow, not a darn heifer). Anyway, long and short of it is that the calf was too big for the head to pass through the birth canal with the legs. Had to haul the heifer to town to the clinic, as the vet was unable to get to my place for an hour and a half. Still ended up losing the calf. Bummer. Cost of C-section in bill : $330.00 Canadian. Plus my fuel to haul an hour ten minute round trip. Plus and this has the vet stumped: $70.00 to put the uterus back in because she prolapsed the morning after the surgery (had to drive her to a different vet, the original was gone on a call) Anybody else ever experienced anything like this, as both vets have been in practice for 30 some years and they have never seen a cow prolapse after having a C-section. Take care. [/QUOTE]
