[QUOTE="riverdance, post: 87164, member: 1672"] I like hearing stories of a breeder with a heart. I think you did a splendid job...I recently had 5 dexter heifers give birth all within a week of ...all apparently easy births but one...If I was there to assist "Charlie" probably wouldnt have been born brain damaged and blind in both eyes. A week after he was born we had to put him down. The mum had retained afterbirth for about a week and needed medication to discharge it finally. (No I didn't pull it out the infection was causing her to retain it) All this probably could have been avoided had I been there to help deliver. Vet thinks it was problem delivery where the calf didnt get enough oxygen causing the brainl damage. He couldnt hold his head straight up and walked in little circles when he could walk. Thats what can happen in just one day. She has previously had 5 other births with NO complications, so I figure its just a one off...so yes we will keep her too. [/QUOTE]
