I've got a heifer calf that I had an umbilical hernia sewn up on not more than a month ago.
Yesterday I saw that she's got a bulge there and this time it's protruding. Last time I just found it because I was feeling around her abdomen for umbilical abcess/navel infection--had her in the headgate and checked her up and down and found it by luck. I just felt that she had a soft spot/hole there and nothing was actually poking through. Now, it looks like a pretty good hunk of gut is hanging through.
What gives? Is this something that normally recurs or should I ask my vet for a refund on the last sew up? :???:
I'm very disappointed about this calf. She's got a little too much underline, but her momma is long and thick and I am just sick that this one is giving me problems. She went from a fine prospective dam to hamburger meat, and that means alot of $ lost and a continued search for a good dam. Having registered cattle sometimes just ain't worth it--may post another thread on that.
