[QUOTE="Andyva, post: 1232738, member: 1022"] In my experience they very rarely go toxic in cases where there was a live calf. If there was a dead one in there for any length of time and they don't clean, then it's a good idea to put them on antibiotics. I guess the vet answer is to give them lut and dex now. I remember when you used to have to go in and manually detach the cotyledons from the uterine wall. Then the trick was to tie a brick to it, or let it provide it's own traction, until it fell out. Others would cut it off flush and give them 1 ridiculously low dose of antibiotics. Seems like to me the more you leave them alone the better they do. [/QUOTE]
