You call the vet - and you commiserate with him. A prolapsed uterus can be put back into place, but it's one of the toughest jobs a vet has to do.

Why reproductive organ of a cow can come out of cows body during gestation period?

It shouldn't. Prolapses usually occur after a cow has given birth, not when she's still pregnant.


What causes a cow to prolapse?

It depends on what they have prolapsed, since there are three types of prolapses: rectal, uterine, and vaginal. If it is a female that has a uterine prolapse this can be a result of a birthing complication, and may be due to a chemical imbalance that is telling her to continue pushing, or because of stress on the birthing canal. This can also be true for a vaginal prolapse. Rectal prolapses can result from either constipation or diarrhea that the cow is constantly trying to push out.. This also can be a result of a high amount of stress, for example if the cow is down and cannot get back up she may put pressure on the rectum until it prolapses.

Can a cow's uterus come out?

Yes. This is called Uterine Prolapse. This is not a heritable condition, unlike vaginal prolapse, so it is safe to keep the cow and rebreed her the next season, as well as her daughters, because uterine prolapses do not tend to repeat themselves every year like vaginal prolapses do. However, it is highly recommended to contact a large-animal veterinarian to quickly, efficiently and safely put the uterus back in the cow, suture her vulva up to prevent it from happening again and provide the necessary medication or recommended time to help and let her heal until she can be bred again.
