[QUOTE="txag, post: 23384, member: 8"] i worked for a vet in high school & college & we saw quite a few of these. you can clean it & push it back in & see if it'll stay on it's own. if not, you may need to stitch it up. if you have to stitch, the stitches will need to be cut when she goes in labor so the calf can fit out. one thing that can help on that is if you see her bagging up & know she's close, the vet can give you a couple of shots to induce......w/this, they'll usually calve in 24 hours (inducing just gives you a closer window to watch & cut the stitches). if you're able to keep an eye on her, since she's that close to calving, i would keep her until she calves & then sell her & the calf in a couple of months.
