[QUOTE="timer, post: 1655891, member: 40427"] I have a couple comments. I will disclose, I have 50 ears experience as a large animal veterinarian who has had beef cattle for 60 years. There is a genetic predisposition to vaginal prolapse. Replace, suture the vulva shut, and cure by culling. Do not keep breeding stock from any relatives of the culprit. Uterine prolapse is somewhat random. It can be related to low blood calcium especially in dairy cows. If replaced properly, there is no need for sutures. Epidural anesthesia is critical to success. If the uterus is severely swollen, the sugar and massaging are very helpful. Lots of cleaning with warm water and soap and lubrication are very important. If the cow is down, pull the hind legs straight back to tip the pelvis forward. If the cow is bloated, bloat should be relieved before replacement is attempted. Oxytocin after the replacement is helpful. The long necked wine bottle is also a good idea if you cannot reach the tip of the replaced uterine horn. Always work with a closed hand to avoid perforating the uterus. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
