[QUOTE="TCRanch, post: 1845588, member: 24027"] In case you have never seen what a uterine prolapse looks like, here you go. My best friend manages her dads ranch. Got there this morning and found a cow with just the head of the calf sticking out, sure looked dead. Pushed the calf back in, got the front legs out, and pulled the calf. Amazingly, it was still alive. Cow got up, started licking off her calf. All good, right? She went back to the house to change clothes and when she checked on the pair, the cow had prolapsed. Yikes! I went over, we got the cow in the corral and tried to keep her down while the vet was on her way. Vet made it to the ranch in less than 30 minutes. By this time the cow was getting fired up, so we got her in the alley and secured her with a harness. Vet gave the cow a block, thoroughly cleaned the uterus, and covered it with a ton of sugar (she actually had a bucket of sugar with her), using a clean towel as kind of a sling in addition to supporting the uterus with her stomach. Got it in, sewed up the cow and the whole procedure was over in 20 minutes. Cow should be fine and no reason to suspect it will happen again because uterine prolapses are almost always a one-time thing. Calf was tubed because his face & tongue were pretty swollen but looks like it will be a positive outcome. [ATTACH type="full"]42348[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]42349[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
