[QUOTE="gizmom, post: 1466457, member: 13402"] No matter now long your involved with cattle they you can never really get it 100% figured out. I think I wrote something last year about an ET heifer that had been stepped on. We thought at the time her leg was broken but when we got her to the chute we found an abscess. We drained it gave her antibotics and kept an eye on her, she seemed fine. Two weeks ago I was trailing the heifers to the feed pen, the leg looked swollen, we sorted her and found her leg hot to the touch with a hole in it. We drained it and treated with antibotics. Got her up again yesterday it wasn’t any better so we loaded her up for a vet visit. Dr. Hank did surgery the nine had in fact been broken when she was a baby the bone had healed but a piece had died and was sticking out as she grew it started rubbing its way out. Hank had to cut the dead bone off said she would be good as new. Goes to show no matter how long we do this the cows will throw you a curve you have never seen before. Hank said this was not common he had seen it in horses but never a cow. Gizmom [/QUOTE]
