prolapse

[the_jersey_lilly_2000]

Long time no see. Hope this finds you all well. I have a question, cow prolapse while having calf.....got it back in and stitched closed. Wasn't uterus just a volleyball size prolapse. My question is...how long do you leave the stitches in? Got her penned and calf with her.

I use umbellica tape, it will disintegrate over time and be gone, only time I will cut it is they haven't calved yet. Glad to see ya back, hope all is well.

What he said. Those usually don't rebreed in my experience, but they don't get infected either. Pick out another heifer, and trade up. How ya'all wintering?

We are wintering great other than its super super wet. Which is way better than dry ....
We aren't gonna keep her....just let her raise the calf up to weaning. I don't want to have to keep her penned up for 6 months. That's why I was asking how long to leave the stitches in. It was sewed with the tape mentioned by James. But everything I've read ...nothing says they will rot and fall out.

hog rings and baling twine , it even falls out, we preg guard vaccinate cows when we brand , pull it out then

Hi Jersey As long as she is passing pee and manure fine just leave them in until you sell her. That way you won't be temped to keep her.

Don't stay away so long,

Where were you?

On Holidays. :wink: :lol: :lol:

I haven't taken pictures like I used to for a good while now. A lot of the grandson Thumper, and he's growing so fast!
