[QUOTE="Koffi Babone, post: 1203260, member: 22429"] Was it via natural breeding or did you use AI? If you used AI or are 100% sure of the breeding date, you can induce birth. Even if you are early, you can usually safely induce up to 2 weeks before the due date. You will need: a) one dose of prostaglandin (Lutalyse or estrumate, according to the manufacturer's instruction) and b) a dose of corticosteroids (dexamethasone 20 mg, the volume will depend on the concentration on the bottle: if it is 2mg/ml, you will need 10 cc, if it is 5mg/ml, you will need 4 cc). Calving should happen within 48 hrs, 95% occur within 24 hrs. If you do not see anything within 24-48 hrs, you need to have a feel inside or call your vet to rule out dystocias. If you decide to have a feel inside, make sure to wash the vulva and your arm with clean water and mild soap and don't forget to remove any jewelry. [/QUOTE]
