[QUOTE="Susie David, post: 518517, member: 1744"] We had two heifers calve within a week of each other and both hung on to the plancentas. Talked with our vet about it and he was prety sure that it was a A & D defieiency. Both cleaned at eight days all by themselves with no problems, Temps were normal and they are good mamas. Back when I wore a bigger buckle and smaller belt it was the practice to manually clean them out but looks like that antiquated thinking did more harm than good. From what I've been told it is best to just let them drag around the tissue and let them clean out by themselves as long as there are no problems. I did give the whole lot of them A&D injections just to be sure. This was the first that we've had in as long as I remember. The cows all flushed in a few hours. DMc [/QUOTE]
