[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 501198, member: 2308"] Just another suggestion, but are you sure she doesn't have another calf in there?? It doesn't happen very often where a cow will have twins, and not show signs of having another in her, but we did have one do that last year. Ours never cleaned, but showed no other signs that she wasn't done calving. 3 days later we found a rotten dead calf, and she had cleaned. We were fortunate she didn't get sick. Sure won't hurt to check her out for it. If it is a mature cow, 90 lbs really isn't that huge, and she shouldn't have had that much trouble calving. On a first calver 90 lbs could certainly cause some problems. Whenever we have a cow that doesn't clean we will usually put some uterine boluses (I believe they are sulfa) in and give her a shot of selenium and Vit ADE. Then leave them alone. If they start acting 'off' we usually give penicillin. But, we have never had one get really sick from it. [/QUOTE]
