[QUOTE="regolith, post: 627026, member: 9267"] Tie it up, bring her back in 4 - 7 days later and restrain her for manual cleaning if she hasn't done so already. Go with heavy dose of penicillin (double, for five days) in the meantime if she gets sick. That's what our vets advise. Used to be four days, now they say seven. They specifically advise *not* using antibiotics unless the cow is sick... my guess that's one of the radically different options? One warning - once a vet came in for a routine cleaning on a cow with a retained placenta (not normal, it was green) and found a dead twin. The cow died following caesarean. Two warning - see more than a couple of these at a time and get some blood tests done to check selenium. [/QUOTE]
