[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 518182, member: 852"] Oxytocin is basically useless after 48 hours post-partum unless the cow has been given a shot of estrogen. It only causes uterine contractions under the presence of estrogen and so Lutalyse is a better choice for most cases of RP because of that. Give 5mL of Lute every 12 hours for 48-60 hours (or until she cleans). (RR, just FYI - Lute causes smooth muscle contractions and regression of the CL; in a fresh cow with no CL it will not cause her to cycle, but the action of Lute on the uterus as a smooth muscle will cause her to expel the afterbirth.) I'd wait 2-3 days on the antibiotics unless she goes off feed. Even for a dairy cow - that has a high tendency to develop a uterine infection - there's very few times they need to be treated sooner than 72 hours post partum. [/QUOTE]
