heifer with retained placenta

Is this a one time deal, or do you do it daily until most of the mixture is gone?
A piece of tubing should work well for the infusion process-right?

I infuse her once and use most of the mixture. I don't know what kind of tubeing you are referring to, but I wouldn't use anything other than an AI sheath or the like.

Thanks for the reply.

"I was also informed yesterday that phenylbutazol is prohibited from sale"


"Bute" is restricted, but not prohibited! Horse people use it all the time. Did your vet tell you that?

This is a cattle board and a vet can no longer sell it to a cattle producer; to me that is prohibited use in cattle

Oh, okay. I thought you meant it was prohibitied completely.. hence my questioning. I'll have to give the vets at A & M a call and check that out.

Update here..... we left the heifer alone, on day 5 we saw several inches more that had came out....then today, 7th day it was completely gone!!!!!
Thanks to all that replied!!!!!

FYI, just because it is gone, doesn't mean all is well.
