[QUOTE="rainie, post: 355668, member: 6006"] If the cow is laying on her right side, when she gets cast she doesn't have much time. I've found them like this bloated like a balloon, gasping for air. On one occassion, I saved a cow like this. I stuck her with my pocketknife to release some of the air, as she was nearly gone. Once the pressure was released off her lungs she started to breathe easier which bought me enough time that I could go and get what I needed to tip her back up. If she is cast on her left side it's still not good, but they won't bloat up. This is gaseous bloat, as there is a lot of frothy bubbles, and it's not the weight of her stomach on her lungs, unless she is lying totally on her back. [/QUOTE]
