    I injected her with estrumate last Wednesday week she came bulling 2 days after and I ai'd her she was bulling again today. Was it the injection caused that or is there something wrong with her?

    Were there swabs from her at either of the days? Possible that her natural heat was timed just after you injected her.

    Bull her again. If she doesn't have 3 week cycle
    after that. Then she probably have a cycle disfunction. Wait and see for now

    Lad, she is most likely cystic. Natural heats don't occur in this instance.

    If she is worth a few quid, get her checked for cysts by a Vet. If not, wait till she comes on again, give her 5ml of recptal, wait 5 days, CIDR, 7 days later, Estrumate, 1 day later remove CIDR and watch for heat. 2.5 ml Recptal immediately when first notice of heat and AI 8 - 12 hours after first notice of heat. If she shows an irregular heat after that fatten her and cut ur losses.

    As all of those medications/devices (RECEPTAL, ESTRUMATE, CIDR) are POM (Prescription only medicine) or VPO (Veterinary Practitioner use only), a vet is going to have to be involved anyway.
    Might as well get them to do a proper examination and diagnoses, before following the advice of a random stranger on the Internet.

    Just pointing out that your very detailed and specific suggested treatment can't be done without the involvement of a vet anyway, so that vet might as well examine the beast and offer their own opinion while they're there.

    Please read my post clearly, I did advise a VET initially however it will incur a call out fee. If I look any those drugs they hand over the counter.
