[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 355475, member: 4353"] I have seen that condition before, but without it causing swelling of the vulva. could the swollen vulva be caused by the cow being heavy bred? If so, it sound like cystitis, or in plain terms, a bladder or urinary track infection. They typically get a high fever and try frequently to urinate, but at times its little more than a few drops. They keep standing with an arched back for a few minutes after that. My vet recommended a five day course of penicillin and although it took the immediate danger away, it still wasn't cleared up completely. The same condition was back after three weeks. I treated with streptomycin, which helped, but then the heifer went into calve and she just didn't seem to try to push the calf out. The calf was pulled and the placenta was retained. She had a fever and was treated with Terramycin LA (200mg oxytetracycline) every third day while getting a intra uterine bolus every second day. After a week the placenta dropped and the cystitis was also something of the past. [/QUOTE]
