    if you handle her you will be able to tell how dirty she is in side-try and remove all retainings{while holding your nose} if she is really bad i use soapy water on the first day then the metricure a day later- the metricure will have a clear straw on it-put this in first as far as you can{as safe as possible} then connect syringe and insert metricure-simple but smelly:)

    thay actually looked at comparing some of these things in a large on farm study a number of year s ago for treating uterine infection,
    if i remember it was antibiotic vs iodine vs dinaprost (same as estrumate) vs nothing - no differance in submission rate or conception rate for any of them - id probably still use the antibiotic route, but it would suggest that time is the best treatment :confused:
