[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 502085, member: 968"] This may not be usefull in this case, but you should NOT give any kind of antibiotic to a cow that has a retained placenta UNLESS she is sick with a fever. Antibiotics kill ALL bugs - good & bad. The cows natural good bugs "eat away" at the placenta & will also take care of all the bits & piecies left behind when it does fall out. It may stink like heck, but just LEAVE IT ALONE. Years ago, the vets used to "unbutton" the cardiledons (sp?) but it has been proven to be more harmful then helpful. I am really surprised that your vet immediately recommended giving her a shot. There have been a lot of good suggestions here, check with your vet. [/QUOTE]
