Neighbor called this morning and told me he had one die sometime very early this morning, probably before dawn. 3rd one in about 3 weeks, with the most recent one before this one being exactly 7 days ago.
I've seen the other kind where a LOT of the rectum comes out, but I believe this is called a rectal mucosal prolapse.
3 yr old mix breed (corriente/jersey--he mostly sells roping calves) cow. It had a calf about 2 months ago with only a little trouble. Cow & calf were doing well. I saw both yesterday.
Found it dead not far from a ring full of hay. Blood was oozing from rectum and vulva. Eyes were intact and saw no evidence of predators or buzzard activity.
I was thinking coccidiosis but when we picked it up to bury it, blood came from one of it's eyes and both nostrils.
I looked at his other cows and one had a bloody tail, from bloody poop. I still think cocci, but he doesn't seem to think so.
