I am hoping you all will tell me that some mucous in preganancy is normal.
Here's what's happened. Bred cow beginning of Dec the morning that there was a big ole 2 ft icicle hanging off her behind. I brought her to the bull around noon and left her there til about 4 pm. She seemed rather dreamy and happy when I walked her back.
After 18 days, I brought her over again because the bull owner invited me to, just to "make sure". So starting at day 18 I brought her over for 5 nights. I'd milk her around 4 pm, walk her over to the bull, leave her for the night and pick her back up in the morning around 6:30 am. I figured if she were in heat, I'd for sure have hit it in those 5 days. I saw no mucous. No more signs of anything. Til now. About 10 days ago, there was a little mucous, 2 in and not icicle clear, but had bubbles in it. Then yesterday there was a short (2 in) clear mucous. I have noticed that the hair from her vulva is wet. Or maybe it has always been wet and I am just scrutinizing her behind more than I ever have.
So have any of your experienced a cow that still had a little discharge during pregnancy?
her nose also has boogers some mornings.
And I have started giving her one garlic clove 2x a day for about 20 days now to cure her tick infestation (which it is working beautifully and has not changed the taste of her milk!!).
And I live in the tropics, she is outside 24/7 and eats grazes all day. She is also frequently slobbery while chewing her cud. I haven't been around cows so don't if they are all slobbery. LOL
Don't know if those other details matter, but there they are!!!
