You see, when cows are repeatdly RAPED and forced to give birth numerous times it can cause a prolapsed uterus. Imagine your uterus coming out of your body;horrific, correct? Just another reason to stop supporting the dairy and meat industry. Shop local, or go vegan.
" Uterine prolapses are one of the few TRUE, emergency- drop- everything -and – come calls that we get in dairy practice. This condition usually occurs in older cows that have already had one or two calves. It can happen in first time mothers, but is not quite as common. Normally prolapses will occur within the first 24 hours after a cow has had a calf. If she has made it through the first 24 hours without any trouble, it is pretty rare that she will prolapse at that point.
For those that have never seen a uterine prolapse, it is when the entire uterus, which I remind you just had an 80+ pound calf inside it, completely inverts and falls outside of the vagina. It is the uterus, inside out, outside the cow. Sometimes the bladder will also come out with it, and in really bad cases, there may be some loops of intestines that also have prolapsed. "
