[QUOTE="regolith, post: 877646, member: 9267"] I looked at Merck and it said prostaglandin is the drug of choice - you know vets don't give out pgf2a here, they administer it themselves and the vet has seen this animal (and the others) twice ?? [url=http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index.jsp?cfile=htm/bc/111002.htm]http://www.merckvetmanual.com/mvm/index ... 111002.htm[/url] Anyway, I think I need serious discussion with him about the plan of attack for next year because what I'm doing this year isn't working. I'll be back in at the vets for more antibiotics this week anyway - excenel isn't on my prescription but it isn't hard to get drugs added as long as there's a vet in the clinic to approve it. When have you ever seen a lactation result from a mummified calf HD? I lost one of my good cows out on lease that way last year, idiots tried to induce her and apparently managed to kill the calf without effecting birth, I was told the vet ripped her uterus some months later trying to extract it and she had to be destroyed. I've known maybe one or two cows with mummified calves, they didn't calve on time or lactate. Oestrogen was a good drug - banned now. The vet thought maybe the clovers on the farm was having an oestrogenic effect... certainly they've cycled well until a little way into the AI season they all suddenly stopped. Given the condition score and feed supply, cycling well is about the last thing you'd expect. [/QUOTE]
