I'm just curious whether anyone has seen this before. The cow started 'aborting' (saw placenta) but when I checked the cervix was still almost closed. Vet gave prostaglandin and when it hadn't made any difference by the following morning he said it might take a full 24 hours to soften the cervix, but didn't always work on stillbirths. (I went back in at the 24 hour mark and spent fifteen minutes or so working the cervix but it didn't have much effect)
She's still looking healthy, a little uncomfortable. She's only got to hang on another 36 hours before the petfood guy picks her up. From the size of the calf it would've died about four months ago.
I think I'm gonna have to change my icon. That's her.
