Ohhh My. This is a first for me. I have a 5 year old pregnant cow that is HUGE. So much so that we figured she was having triplets. We are 3 weeks away from calving and I was worried that she might not make it that far. This morning I was driving to town and noticed she was away from the herd so I drove in the field to have a talk with her and she seemed a bit uncomfortable. She wasn't bagging up at all but I noticed that the opposite side of her udder looked odd as though it was hanging lower. I drove around to her other side and discovered to my horror that her whole side had dropped down to her hocks!
These picture were taken about 10 days ago and as you can see she is fairly even on both sides.
Here is the side view.
I am waiting for the vet to call and I have a feeling we will be loading her up to drive 45 miles to the vet for a c-section. Not much chance of getting live calves at this early date but stranger things have happened.
To be continued.........
I'll try to remember to take my camera to take some surgery pics.
