[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12065"] Regarding your question about rolling a cow over as a solution to surgery or slow death, I have worked on a dairy farm and that was a common occurance. When we had a cow go off of feed and act funny, we used one of those things vets use to listen to your heart and hold that to its chest and flick on the side of the cow. If she had a displaced abomen (D.A.), we would hear an abnormal sound. Sometimes you would have to flick her a dozen times, but more often than not we would hear the sound if she had a d.a. We would then call the vet and he would roll her over to untwist the gut and then stich her gut to her skin where it should be. I son't remember which way he rolled her when the d.a. was on a certain side, but I know one thing, it worked. The stitches would come out a couple weeks later. In no time the cows would be back eating. Cheaper than surgery! > anyone heard of this and what > direction do you roll them? I am > willing to try anything at this > point.
