Thank you for the advice Crystal, I am definitely going to get some oxytocin to have on hand, although I hope I never have need of it.  The first time I got it back in last night I did not make sure it was in there completely right side out.  She was still straining when I got the prolapse harness on her, and when I checked her 4 hours later she had pushed it out again.   I realized my mistake, and made sure I got them both in place the next time before putting in the bolus.  I'm glad you mentioned the hefty dose of penicillin, it looks like I gave her a lot less than I should have.

It's been about 5 1/2 hours since I put the uterus back in the last time and she hasn't tried to push it out.  So far she's had a uterine bolus, 7cc of pen g, and 2cc of banamine.  She's been up eating and drinking and her lamb is active.

Uterus was back out this morning.  Guess I didn't get it back how it needed to be... I once again got it all in and am hoping it stays.  She hasn't been trying to push it out, but any advise from someone who's been there done that would be awesome.

I had a first timer prolapse her entire uterus tonight after lambing a single.  I was able to get everything cleaned, shrunk, and put back in after several tries of having her push it back out.  I am hoping it will stay put with the prolapse harness I put on her.  I put a uterine bolus in, but what else should I be doing?  How long do they usually continue trying to push it back out?
