Id just keep an eye on her, so long as she is happy and eating leave it for now.

I had one this year. She finally dropped the cleanse 5 days after birthing. I think it is either virtually immediate or it then takes 4-5 days for the cotyledons to break down. Mine had no antibiotics as she looked well and ate with the rest.

Had one this time . A/B'd and Vet said to also give a shot of Metacam and either Calcium or the Ewego drench . Used the drench for ease ....

So long as she's not got a temperature then turn her out, the extra walking will work it loose

We had one this year and it took 7 days to eventually come away. We gave her no meds and couple of weeks later there doesn’t seem to be any ill effects.
