[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 642663, member: 6198"] So we have this cow, she's trying to calve. Only it's not happening. We assume the calf is dead cause no reaction when you pinch the hoof. Calf sack breaks while checking her out, only to find the head back. Call the vet, get her out of bed, and take the cow in. The vet gives an epidural, and some thing to dialate the cow even more. By the time the cow has worked the cervix, she has both arms in up to her shoulders. Twists the head into normal and pulls the calf. The calf is alive. The vet works the calf for a bit. Calf will need some anafin for a few days and probably tube fed cause the neck muscles are swollen and the neck is twisted back. Vet figures about 2-3 days for the calf to get the head back to normal. Eyes are alert and breathing on its own. Now we have to milk the cow and tube the calf if it will not suck the bottle. This could be a long day [/QUOTE]
