[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 650746, member: 9096"] we have a couple a year,... the cow that aborted a set of twins (and adopted the calf from the dry cow) retained it and it started to smell, we gave oxytocin, and nitrane/urea boluses, which are supposed to help break down the placenta, and if the smell is really bad, I put a couple cc of iodine in a gallon of water and clean her out with that, as well as dousing any placenta that hangs out with iodine. my "horse" also retained the placenta after having her 140 lb behemoth, with a couple boluses, and a small weight hung to the placenta (warning.. small!, we go with about 1 lb, or you may end up with a prolapse, and you'll be no better off then, and be extra careful when used in conjuction with oxytocin). I'm glad to hear some views on this, as it's a common enough problem and there are a vast array of opinions.. I usually start to get worried after it's been retained for 2 days, as that's when infection starts to become an issue. [/QUOTE]
