🐄 Is this cow sick after having twins?

This cow just gave birth to twin calves, and her belly is hanging really low. Many new farmers panic, but this is almost always normal, not a disease!

Why does this happen?

1. Loose belly muscles: Carrying twins stretched her abdominal muscles to the limit. After birth, the belly looks saggy because the muscles are still relaxed.
​
2. Postpartum edema: Pregnancy can cause fluid buildup in the udder and lower abdomen. This soft, painless swelling is common and usually goes away on its own.

How to tell if it’s normal or a problem?

✅ Normal: She’s alert, eats well, and the swelling is soft and not painful.
​
❌ Call a vet: If she’s lethargic, refuses food, the swelling is hard/hot/painful, or her discharge smells bad.

What to do now?

Give her clean water, good hay, and limit salty snacks.
​
Let her walk around gently to improve circulation.
​
Be patient: Most swelling goes down in 1–2 weeks, and her belly will tighten up over a few months.
