While most gynecologists recommend waiting for 4 to 6 weeks after delivery to allow cessation of
lochial loss and healing of episiotomies, tears or other birth-related perineal injuries (7,8), the importance of preventing unplanned pregnancy soon after childbirth cannot be stressed enough.
Clinical observations were recorded to note placental expulsion, hemorrhage and cessation of
lochial discharge after therapeutic schedule in different groups.
Subcutaneous administration of ceftiofur at a dose of 1 mg/kg in dairy cows after parturition resulted in a concentration of ceftiofur and its active metabolites in plasma, uterine tissues, and
lochial fluid that exceeded reported MIC (minimum inhibition concentrations) values for common pathogens involved in metritis (15).
