[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 743446, member: 4203"] My understanding is that vaginal prolapse is more nutritional than hereditary and that the odds are it will NOT reoccur. I have a 5 year old crossbred cow that prolapsed (vaginal) after her first calf. She had it out for a few days before I got her in and fixed it. Had sold the first one I had experienced but on further reading decided to keep this one and see what happened. She has had two more good calves unassisted and seems fine. She WAS a little thin (and young) with the first one. The third one I had was a wild goofy thing and I think she went off and died. I never found her or her calf after I fixed her and turned her back out. Now a uterine prolapse, if you can fix it (major job) is more than likely to happen again so those should go bye bye. Edit to add a couple things: these 3 vaginal prolapses are over my whole lifetime, have only seen 2 uterine prolapses - once when I was a kid and another was a cow that belonged to somebody else, BIG dead calf had been pulled and cow blew out. We got her back together but I don't know what they did with her. my other comment was to echo the question about your "back end" photo - and agree that is placenta that hasn't cleaned out, not any kind of prolapse (slow dial up so the pix hadn't loaded when I started my reply) [/QUOTE]
