[QUOTE="colleen, post: 968337, member: 13004"] I did do some reading up on it when I thought she might have a Rp. It said that the infection that can occur is not from the placenta itself but from it hanging out, dragging in dirt and her feces getting on it and that going back up into her uterus causing an infection, as you have said. And that the best thing to do if it's hanging is to clip off never pull. Then if she quits eating and runs fever...then u treat that infection. We would call the vet in that case and let him check her out. Hers was definitly mucous and I thought that it was but wanted to make sure by asking y'all! I did also read that it is more common in dairy cows than beef cattle. Thanks for your help. We have never had a cow with a Rp. Yet! Never had a first time heifer either, so I was looking for something to go wrong. We have another 1st timer due in a month, now that one is gona be a problem. If something is gona go wrong it will be her!! [/QUOTE]
