:?: Okay...have got a bit of a dilemna toady.
One of my breds has had a slight rectal prolapse that has now escalated into a six inch bloody mess.
My question is:
Has anyone had any luck getting a rectal prolapse to stay put after putting it all back in?
(We just had our first uterine prolapse in years in another cow yesterday at 5 am - put the uterus back in, threw a couple of stitches at her, and so far so good, up and nursing her calf. She threw out her calfbed because she had calved with her back down too low and in struggling to get up, strained too hard and threw her uterus out.).
The cow with the rectal prolapse is about three weeks from calving, and a hell of a producer, but if the outlook is grim, I'll just ship her tomorrow.
Thanks.
