[QUOTE="ptnew, post: 636201, member: 9966"] In response to your comment ryates......the vet was already out to our farm ok, and she gave a shot of Lutalyce, as I mentioned previously, and told us to watch for "signs" of termination..ie: dialation and discharge ect. with me so far??????? She was unable to do a rectal exam/palpation because our heifer is too small....she proceeded to push with her fist into the calf's side and mention that she thinks she could feel a head, but was not sure and that she could possibly be around 4 months pregnant. The shot was given to her one week ago today....still with no outcome. I will post a photo when I return home on Saturday. It is possible that she could be full of "hay" I guess...lol. As far as opting to do nothing, well, that is what my husband and I had decided to do together since the vet said that her chances of surviving this "ordeal" was around 2%....if she was indeed pregnant. There are no vets nearby with a rectal sonoprobe to positively determine pregnancy so..............here we are. We were told by the vet, as I mentioned in a previous blog, that even if she was pregnant, she could die from peritonitis ect. so no matter what we decided to do, the outcome for her was grim.
