[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1333563, member: 24027"] I use a basic digital thermometer from the drugstore, they do just fine & I've gotten readings up to 105.8. Just make sure you don't have slippery hands or gloves :). I still wouldn't rule out a uterine infection. If I understood correctly she calved a month ago so the 3 - 6 week time frame after calving is now and I would follow Regolith's recommendation to check the vulva for white mucus. And the smell? Similar to a dead animal or the equivalent of a teenage boy's athletic shoes (you don't have to go dumpster diving, just get your nose real close). Also, observe her when she doesn't think you're looking: does she hunch her back and cough? That said, I absolutely agree with Regolith that it could be a gazillion different things & only your vet can make the proper diagnosis. In the meantime, you could spray her eye with Vetericyn for temporary relief. [/QUOTE]
