[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 14273"] I think Vicki is right and would advise following her advice. Just watch your cow for signs of illness and leave well enough alone unless she runs a fever or shows other signs of infection. I wouldn't even go in and check for a retained placenta at this point. We keep an eye out to see if the placenta is passed, but with many of our cows we never see it and things go just fine. You just aren't going to see each and every placenta unless you move into the barn and stay awake 24/7. > Thanks so much.
