[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 629945, member: 6198"] Well the vet must have been busy because she did not call back. She is usually pretty good about that. So we took matters into our own hands, and drew on experience. Since she was stinky: two after calf boluses in the uterus. We had them, might as well use them, wouldn't want the money to go to waste now would we... she was stinky a shot of dex, would have used anafin because we like non steriod, but we had a bottle, she was open, why not, kinda off feed, not generally well, and well it would help a shot a alamyacin, generic LA200 shot of lute to help with opening her up, smoothing the walls whatever...to tired to remember why and cause i was in the mood to give needles a dose of A and D, again cause i have it on hand, she was not feeling well and why not. she is in the home pen to keep an eye on her. I hope she gets better to re breed, she was kind enought to let me check her bag for mastitis without kicking me, she is a nice size and raised a good calf last year. And after this year we really do not need any more set backs, thought they are coming. I was actually kind of glad the calf died. "What", you say, "how can you say that?" Well because knowing me, if it was alive, I would have spent a pile of bucks and time trying to get it going. Colostrum from a bag 20.00 shots including a/d, e/sel, epinephrine, dope, LA 200 maybe, electrolytes heat lamps, including the generator to run the lamps bottle feeding cause to weak because rather premie to nurse on own, calf would probably die any how because just to early and well livestock = dead stock sometimes. But i would have tried to defy the known and spent a good deal of $ to try and save every calf... [/QUOTE]
