Had a 3 year old cow calved on Sunday morning. Had to pull the calf as she was not trying to push. I knew her water broke sometime before 630am and was doing nothing by 800am. It was not a hard pull, everyone is fine.
However, the cow has a retained placenta as of this morning. My vet said to give her lutalyse and either LA200 or pennicillin tonight, and if she has yet to pass the placenta by tomorrow, she will need to be cleaned. I though oxytocin would be a better bet than the lutalyse, what am I missing.
Anybody else have any other thoughts? It has probably been 6 years since I have had one of these, and can't remember much about them.
