OT : calving paralysis

Posted by Teddy (punchie) on May 30, 2006 at 04:18:19 from (141.153.76.40):

I have a heifer that had trouble calving, loss calf and took us hours to pull the calf. He was about 95-100 pounds from a 1200 pound heifer. Calf should have been 75-80 tops. Genex Lucky Dice .

How long should we wait for this to pass, Patch's (her name) Does eat and drink well and does try to walk and made it from field to barn ( 500 ft.) but not to the shall. So she is in a stanction area and we tried for 3 hours to move her last evening. We were going to try to get her to a calving shall I have, but were not able.

How long should we wait for her to recover?
Pain I would say around 5 or so on a scale to 10, is eating and clam and had a vet come and check her, but most of our vets are horse vets and not cattle people.

As all ways any and all Opinions welcome.
Thanks !!
Teddy
