There are different ways to do a c-section on a cow, but here’s how I like to do it and why. #dairy #cow #birth #csection #csectionscar #scar #incision #cesarean #cows #laboranddelivery #veterinary #dairydoc #dairykind | Dairy Doc

ruminal trocarization, an emergency procedure where a cannula punctures a cow’s distended rumen to vent trapped fermentation gases, rapidly deflating the belly and restoring breathing. Caused by frothy bloat from legume-rich forages, this condition kills untreated cattle in 1-2 hours by compressing lungs; Merck Veterinary Manual notes it affects young cattle most, with poloxalene drenches preventing foam formation in at-risk herds. #cows #trocorization #nurse #medicine | Zain Hasan
