if hardware disease is suspected
if hardware disease is suspected, a magnet should be administered orally through a tube into the reticulum. depending on the type of magnet used, inserting a second magnet could cause internal pinching which could lead to serious complications. a broad-spectrum antibiotic should also be given to control infection. the cow should be confined and movement limited in the hopes that the reticulum can repair the hole. surgery is necessary in some cases and involves rumenotomy with a physical removal of the object. in some advanced cases that don’t respond to medical or surgical therapy, slaughter is often considered from an economic perspective.
