[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 501123, member: 852"] If she has a uterine infection it is a serious matter regardless of what the others may tell you. Beef cows don't generally have problems with retained placentas, but it's a relatively common occurance on dairies, and I've seen cows die when the infection goes from localized to systemic. My personal preference for uterine infections is 30-60cc's of pencillin daily (prefer Twin Penn) and estrogen + oxytocin therapy. (Note oxytocin won't work without administration of a long-acting estrogen first this far out from calving.) Lutalyse shots every 12 hours for 2-3 days will also work if you can't get your hands on estrogen/oxytocin. As far as antibiotics go, use pennicillin. I haven't been too happy with LA200's success rate on uterine infections. JMO. [/QUOTE]
