Two CIDR questions:
(1) Yesterday I inserted a CIDR into a heifer. I cut the tail on the CIDR to about 2-3". When I went back a few minutes later, I could not see the tail at all. I'm pretty certain she did not loose the CIDR.
How difficult is it going to be to remove the CIDR next weekend?
(2) After pressing the plunger on the CIDR gun, it always seems like the CIDR won't come out of the gun, and when I try to remove the gun, the CIDR pulls out as well? Is the CIDR more or less effective depending on how far the CIDR is inside the reproductive tract?
As always, thanks in advance for your thoughts.
