[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1619983, member: 16453"] Dave, I have an older obstetrics text book by Roberts published in 1971. It is very good with the likes of statistics and definitions. It used to be the bible on obstetrics. I was not familiar with the term ringwomb however he says it is a term used in Australia and England as failure of the cervix to dilate in cows and ewes, especially ewes. He mentions it might be erroneously diagnosed because the animal may not yet have entered the 1st or 2nd stage of labour. However when you are on the spot it is hard to overlook the strong contractions and the decision to take it out the side especially with the favourable premises that were available was probably the right one. The straining that is still occurring possibly suggests that there may have been some other issues causing the contraction like straining. I agree with your suggestion of leaving for 3 days, not so sure on your cocktail infusion, sounds like something out of a James Herriot book but gee, when you are there on the spot it is hard to do nothing.
