[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 876771, member: 6198"] Jilleroo, A twisted uterus will feel like your hand and arm want to rotate. There is no choice in the matter, you go in palm down but the fingers want to twist. It would also make it feel like she is not dilated. Two possibles 1. shes not ready and she is having a hard time turning the calf 2. head first no feet can be a problem, let me rephrase...is a problem. Feel for the feet, and then pinch the feet hard, sign of life yet. Or pinch the tongue Is the calf still in the sack? If you are ready to go back in and give it a go, and if the calf has life, have some epinphrine on hand for the calf, dophram too if possible. And you need oxy for the cow...definitely post calving if you did not give pre calving. [/QUOTE]
