I have an odd one for you. I had a cow come in yesterday with a lump on her jaw , drooling maybe some. She had lost weight I thought. Today when checking that bunch she had lost alot of weight and still the lump and kind of dead looking in her eyes. I penned her and ran her down the chute, opened her mouth to look in and she was full of grass etc. I pulled all I could then got a screwdriver and pulled out probably a gallon more. That was all I could get so I called my vet on his day off . He came out and called me just now. He said he pulled out anothr five gallons of grassy cud looking mess that as he got closer to her stomach got dryer.
In some of what I got out which was obviously the last in her mouth there was pieces of hedge apple but the vet said he couldn't find a thing .No thorns, no twine.....What do ya'll think? The vet finally had to knock her out and said with his hand in her throat got to his elbow. Finally had to take a tube and push the last into her stomach.
