[QUOTE="Farm Family, post: 1797930, member: 43070"] Follow your instincts…is what I think. In our experience, we have found that often after an internal, to check all is progressing in the right direction, status of calf (meaning showing signs of life), colour and smell of membranes etc…if all good, we will leave for 15-30 minutes depending maybe longer if progress starts. That internal is often enough to get things moving along. My advice is cleanliness - always scrub in. Pain if your handling system and /or cow doesn’t allow for a possible 2nd intervention if needed, to let them be for a bit extra time. So not for everyone to do that. Lol the calf thinks I better get out of here and mom says I better get to business or maybe like humans further manipulation/rupturing of those membranes kicks the hormones up enough to speed things along. And give yourself a break you had an embryo calf so that makes some difference too…a live calf is a live calf but a live embryo calf is extra important. All is well that ends well!! [/QUOTE]
