we have a 2 day old calf born healthy it seems, with a curved spine. Does it cause more harm to try to get it to stand, could we maybe devise a kind of sling to help it? It is unable to stand to nurse. Is there any way to help this calf or has any one else ever delt with this and might have some help on how to deal with this?

I would contact a Vet and get professional advice. We have seen a grown calf develope with some SERIOUS health issues having a curved spine.

IE, Kidney and liver problems
