how frequent of an occurance is this? I hadn't ever dealt with it before, but boss had a 2nd or 3rd calver the other day that was acting as if she was in the early stages of labor but was taking waaay too long. We both gloved up and had a feel; calf's hooves were over the pelvic rim, cervix was dialated, weren't sure what was up but something certainly didn't feel right. Turned out the uterus was twisted just on the other side of the cervix. He took her to the vet, they diagnosed a twisted uterus, did a c-section, dead calf, cow died a few hours later.
Anyone else dealt with this? if so, how'd you deal with it and how did you diagnose it? and did the cow survive?
