[QUOTE="danl, post: 1295140, member: 229"] Had a 3rd stage, 6 year old cow have a cervical prolapse last week. Took her to the vet and had her stitched up. Mom and Dad volunteered to watch her. Dad doesn't have cows anymore but still has a pen right behind house. She is showing signs of "maybe" being in labor. lays down gets up. Haven't seen her lay down and really stretch out though. How long is it safe to wait to cut stitches? I have had to do this twice before in my 58 years and both times i went out and the cow was laying down and pushing and I cut the stitches the calf exited and a few months later the cow went to the sale barn... Am I getting too antsy, don't want to lose the calf. or cow. Also hate for my 81 year old dad to be going out in the middle of the night checking on my cow. Is there a chance the stitches are keeping her from really pushing or is that out of their controll???? [/QUOTE]
