Few days ago our cow delivered a beautiful female calf. That day at evening when I returned to home from OPD, my family members was waiting and worried for removal of cow’s placenta because even after six hours after delivery the placenta was not removed. Discussion: When we do not get sufficient numbers of symptoms in veterinary cases then we can consider first grade medicines mentioned for chief complaints. Previously I had used Sepia 200 in a single dose as a first grade medicine in a case of retained placenta but this time I decided to try Cantharis as a first grade medicine for the same.

I had Cantharis available in 30 potency so I gave Cantharis 30 stat and one more dose after half an hour. Within an hour the placenta was removed successfully. Then the cow was milked and I enjoyed the sweet dish prepared from beestings.
