[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 357273, member: 2383"] The way I look at it, I'm just taking a gamble with her salvage value, around $600. I'm willing to pay the vet for a c-section if necessary, but any other work will be done by my personal vet assistant (wife) and her underpaid, abused helper (me). If the cow wasn't so close it wouldn't be much of a decision, but I just don't want that calf's blood on my hands. Also, if someone can't afford to lose $600 for the right reasons they need to do something else. By the way, we've decided to leave her be, and let her have a go on her own. The stitches will be cut when her bag starts filling. Found a bottle of oxytocin this evening that I didn't know I had, she might get a squirt this weekend as I'll be here to oversee hopefully. Thanks to all cfpinz [/QUOTE]
