What happens if a cow doesn't pass the afterbirth?

Retained placentas in cows may cause complications such as metritis, which can cause a cow to become ill (feverish, lose weight) to the point that you may actually lose her. This is mainly because the placenta, which would hang out of the vulva and get sucked back in with her movements, would be exposed to a host of bacteria from the ground (when she lays down) and from the feces she expells (since the vulva is situated immediately below the anus), which gets into the uterus and creates an environment for infection. Please see the related link below for more information.
