[QUOTE="gcreekrch, post: 1574999, member: 14161"] Clip them clean, wash lots with some kind of iodine based disinfectant, don’t get in a rush and use lots of penicillin. You should also sew the uterus up twice. Once to close the incision and then fold the incision inward and sew again to stop leakage. A scalpel, surgical scissors, a forceps a curved needle and a big S curved needle for the hide is the extent of the tools I use. Freeze with Duracaine use #3 catgut for stitching and again, use lots of pen. I was fortunate to be growing up when Continental cattle first hit the country and everyone was breeding 1000 lb Hereford cows to elephants. I stopped at the vet clinic whenever there was a vehicle backed up to the chute. Later, after I did my first, ( saved calf, cow died of peritonitis) I had two old friends who had done many of them and would answer the finer points I asked. I have about 100 behind me now. Use lots of penicillin! [/QUOTE]
