Well, the cow that gave me my late bday present is doing well, the bag has grown a LOT.. seems like she's got far more milk than the calf drinks, but I noticed her navel (the cow's) is a bit swollen... doesn't seem to be hard, just enlarged.. is this something I should worry about?
 
Probably just edema and will go down after she's been fresh for a while. There is a small chance her navel herniated but very very unlikely.
 
OK, it wasn't a hard birth either, if that makes a difference.

She looks like a dairy cow suddenly with the bag she's got... I wasn't around over the weekend and sure noticed the difference!
