[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 627440, member: 6713"] Thanks for all the great replies. They reflected almost exactly what we got from the 3 different vets and the local cow knowledger. One vet suggested Oxytocin and washing her out with some kind of solution in a pump. No antibiotic. Another said do nothing at all for a few more days then Lute. The third suggested removing the placenta manually then inserting the boluses. Plus antibiotic The local knowledger suggested pretty much what we did, and it seemed to work OK The one thing that was not mentioned was a fix suggested to my partner by an old cowboy at the feed store. He suggested pulling out the placenta and essentially douching her out with kerosene. We passed on that one. Here's what we did do. We ran her in the chute gave her 10cc of Lutalayse, the recomended dose of LA200 and GENTLY tugged on the placenta twice for about 10 seconds each time. The second time we tugged on it she appeared to have a very strong contraction and within seconds expelled it apparently in one piece. Kicked her out with her calf and as of 4pm today mother and daughter are both fine. Thanks again [/QUOTE]
