[QUOTE="danl, post: 749529, member: 229"] Went back at 5:00 this morning to check on a cow that is very near calving. She has a prolapse about the size of a softball. Was laying on a hay pile happily chewing her cud. Ruined my morning. It is my fault... She prolapsed shortly after calving last year, a little smaller than a volleyball. Took her to the vet had her sewed up. Told the vet I was sending her to slaughter. He said if she was a good cow there was no need. wouldn't happen again. Just a one time thing because she kept straining. I had one 15 years ago prolapse 2 months before calving, had her sewed up and watched her constantly, cut strings right before calving. A real pain keeping an eye on her. She went to sale. Should have repeated my actions :( :( What do I do today? She is very close to calving. Been checking on her two or three times a day for a week. She has had stringy mucous for a week, floppy in the back, bag is pretty big. not busting tight yet though. I assume all I can do for now is wait and plan a trip to the vet. [/QUOTE]
