[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1396281, member: 25776"] I assume you gave her time to naturally expell the afterbirth before you [b]went in[/b]? I have had two cases of retained placenta both cases following twins. Here is the procedure my vet used and both cows immediately healed and stuck to AI service on their next heat. 1. He performed a rectal palpation. Purpose is to feel the uterus for debris and assess whether there are issues other than just retained placenta. 2. He inserted a spectrum to visually inspect the cervix. 3. He then went back into the rectum and used his hand to force out the broken down placenta. He forced it out through the vagina. It was a foul bloody discharge with chunks of placenta. 4. He inserted 5 uterine boluses into her uterus. 5. He infused antibiotic directly into the uterus through a tube. Your question: you should not go into her uterus and pull or tear anything out. [/QUOTE]
