[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 6801830, member: 4505"] I know next to nothing about cattle but with mares we (or the vet) would give a shot of oxytocin. I always make sure I have some on hand when I am expecting a mare to foal. The oxytocin will bring on cleansing quite quickly (in horses). But I have also called the vet out, one was the late Professor 'Mac' Johnston, former senior lecturer at the RVC, who was manually removing the cleansing while I nervously held the head of a pony notorious for rearing. All the time, "Mac" was giving me a private lecture on obesity in native ponies (with one arm up the pony's arse). He only charged £30 for the call out too! (The new lot are at the other end of the scale). A retained cleansing can be serious in horses, don't know about cattle but I [U]think[/U] it is less serious...but why take chances? [/QUOTE]
