Re: Cow can't pass afterbirth

[Guest guest]

Thank you Ann. Do you use the liquid dilution or pellets? Do you give it orally or use it as a flush? Jan Haybert

Hi Jan, We've had great luck giving homeopathic caulophyllum 30C every other day until they clean. Sometimes it takes 10-12 days and as long as they smell OK and don't run a fever they do fine. Ann

We have a Jersey springer who had her calf on Thursday morning. When she hadn't passed the afterbirth after 8 hours we called the vet and he told us to give her a cc of oxytocin. By Friday morning we called the vet and he came out to flush her out and give her some antibiotics. Still no afterbirth.

We bought this poor girl at a Jersey sale in SC on Monday, She was hauled 11 hours to get here on Tuesday and had her first baby Thursday so VERY tough week. Could that be part of the problem?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

We had an older doe who did not pass her afterbirth and had some birthing issues. After nothing happening for a day and half we gave her tincture of cayenne and tincture of Lobelia and with in a half hour she cleaned. For a goat it was one droperful of each I would guess a cow you would have to give several droperfulls of each.

If you haven't already done this and discarded the cord, you might offer her the

cord to eat. This could stimulate more contractions.

morning. I feel better knowing it's not life threatening and that she will most

likely breed back. She is a good mother and stood still for us to milk her.

Poor baby has just had an awful week.

Any form of homeopathic caulophyllum would be good and you could use it both

ways, although I would definitely do oral if possible. Also, the herbal

tincture Anjelica is useful for women with a retained placenta.

FWIW,

Hi Jan, We use the pellets by mouth. Ann
