[QUOTE="hevmando, post: 1118604, member: 19737"] Just experienced our first prolapsed after a calf the cow could not have on her own and died shortly after pulling. Vet restrained legs with rope to a post as she was laying down. No lidocaine needed as she did not fight the process. 3# of sugar and 60 minutes later prolapse was back in. 4 shoelace stitches and a shot of penicillin. Done. Then she could not get up as back legs were numb. Next day hobbled around, but could not stand. Day 2 she could stand and hobble for 10-20 minutes. That night she could walk. Have hobbles on her now to prevent doing the splits in the mud and ice, if we let her out ( won't for a while). Vet said to leave hobbles on for 4 weeks. She is locked with a Holstein bull calf in a pen that she is letting nurse. Took stitches out on day 4 per vet instructions. Gave 2nd shot of penicillin. Stands well now and walks well, even kicks at calf occasionally. Going right direction except for coming vet bill, dead calf, and $ 200 replacement calf :) . Next question, rebreed her or not? Have had both suggestions. [/QUOTE]
