[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 654522, member: 6198"] If she does not clean within 24 hours call your vet. As a beginner you need to learn the right way and not take short cuts that the seasoned cattle producers do. Once you know the right way, you can learn the short cuts or medicate your animals on your own. It will require that you develope a relationship with your vet. But this is a good thing. It might cost a few dollars in the short term, but that cost will more than pay off down the road when you can look at a calf or cow and diagnose the problem and treat on your own. As a newbie, knowing your limits and where to go for help is smart. As a cattle producer developing a working relationship with your vet, you will gain knowledge and understanding that would other wise be missed. You will learn the proper way to give injections, when and how to vaccinate, learn about the drugs on the market and when to use them, and much much more. Develope the relationship...it will be a good thing. Cows, yes can eat their after birth. The problem occurs when some go to chew their cud and it comes back up and she chokes on it. If she does eat it, watch for problems. I agree with Hillsdown, iodine the navel. It cleans the area and helps to prevent navel ill. Best prevention though is clean dry bedding. [/QUOTE]
