[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1771636, member: 12607"] I never put in any prolapse buttons, but if I did, I'd be looking at it as merely a salvage operation, to get that cow to parturition - or cleaned up/fattened enough to go to slaughter. IDK if they'd be a 'long-term solution' for this morbidly obese 'pet' cow with a prolapse . Can't imagine using those Callicrate bands on anything other than a full uterine prolapse that you couldn't get back in... even then, I'd be putting on more than one, just to make sure I got the uterine arteries corralled. Would think if you put one on a cervical prolapse, that you'd be leaving a devitalized uterus in the abdomen to induce peritonitis. I saw a 3/4 Bison-1/4 Brahman heifer (WTH!) for a client once... she had a soccerball-sized vaginal prolapse - through a vulvar opening that I could barely have stuck my pinky finger through before she pushed that thing out. She almost killed me as I trie to catch & sedate her, and I.could.not.get.it.back.in. Period. That band might have been just the ticket... but nobody I knew had one of those back in 1989. Mix a hot August afternoon, a crazy-@$$ BisonXBrahman cow, Rompun, and a rodeo... she heat-stroked out. I shoulda walked away the first time they tried to run her up in the alleyway to their little Co-Op headgate, she bailed and made us aware that she wasn't going in there again. [/QUOTE]
