[QUOTE="Koffi Babone, post: 1182444, member: 22429"] Every time I have induced cows, I use a dose of prostagladin (estrumate or lutalyse) and 20 mg of dexamethasone. 80% will calve within 24 hrs. I don't recall ever seeing uterine infections and I don't know if the patient takes longer before coming into heat (it is not an issue, because most owners will start a breeding program at around 60 days). If you are sure there is a calf in the cow and she does not give birth within maximum 48 hrs, you really need to stick your arm inside and make sure everything is OK or call the vet if you don't know what to do. Everytime induction has gone beyond 48 hrs, it has turned into a nightmare (it usually means there is a uterine torsion and the calf is dead). [/QUOTE]
