Ok.. my mare aborted yesterday morning. My vet is 1 hour away and was the only one in the office this week and didn't want to come out. She had afterbirth hanging out maybe a couple inches above her hocks. He told me to drive over and get Oxytocin, Pennicillin, and Bannimine for her and to give her a course of 1/2 CC oxytocin every hour for 4 hours to see if we couldn't get it to expel. Anyhow... didn't seem to work it only came out maybe 3 or 4 more inches mas. Still had it about the same place this morning so of course had to take her in to get her flushed and he tried lavage to see if he couldn't get it out and he said it was still firmly attached and couldn't get it out..to take her home. and gave her more oxytocin. Wanted me to bring her back every day until it expels to be flushed and then for at least 2 days after.
Anyone else have any problems like this?? Lets just say at this rate if it stays in much longer this is going to be a REALLY pricey problem..... Any guesses on how long this thing should take to come out???
