[QUOTE="Sunny Citizen, post: 1044657, member: 18400"] Maybe I should be posting this on the beginners board...this is my only cow, a 19 month old Jersey heifer. I've had her since she was 2 weeks old. Earlier this summer, I scheduled to take her to board in a pasture with a Jersey bull. Just before she went, she had a thick, bloody discharge. After 5 weeks, I got a call to come get her "that she was sick" -- she had an infection - probably due to an early abortion due to the heat here (Texas). He had seen the bull riding her earlier in her stay. He thought she should have a lutalyse shot and antibiotics and be palpatated to make sure all her female organs were intact. When I got her home, she did have a messy rear. My vet was out of town, so I cleaned her up with a bucket of water so I could see/tell what was going on. She was eating, drinking, chewing the cud, and acting as normal as ever. The next day, she did have a creamish/whitish discharge (that turned to a clearish amber color when dried on her tail). Maybe 2 teaspoons at a time. On the advice of a cattlewoman - since it was not foul-smelling and she was acting normal -- give her a shot of antibiotic until I could get her to a vet. 18 ml of Noromycin subQ in the neck. She still has a knot from that. Her temp was 101.2 to 102.4 for the 3 days that I took it. When I got her to the vets the next week, he took her temp (normal), palpatated her and asked "who told you she was sick?" He thought she was short-bred (maybe 30 days). Told me to leave her alone. IF I wanted to definitely know if she was pregnant, bring her back in 2 - 3 weeks. She's been home for 3 1/2 weeks. (2 1/2 weeks since she's seen the vet) Still has this creamish discharge. Still normal temperature. Still eats, drinks, moos, and chews her cud like always. Should I be worried? I don't want to ruin my only cow. Your advice, please. [/QUOTE]
