Could I use Metricure as a treatment for retained placenta?
Metricure is intended as a treatment for clinical and subclinical endometritis in later post partum period. Therefore its spectrum of activity and formulation are selected to effectively eliminate the bacterial species prevalent in later post partum period such as A. pyogenes and other anaerobes in the uterus of already reduced size. In cows with retained placenta and acute puerperal metritis the prevalent bacteria is E. coli. Also the uterus is still of large size as the involution process just has started. Other products therefore should rather be used than Metricure.
