[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1401737, member: 25884"] Don't know what else you could have done to save the calf except I will put them over a gate/fence to get them to drain any fluid. Usually when they are backwards, but when they aren't breathing real quick. I don't get too upset if I don't see any progress in that short of a period of time and if you didn't see the calf in the canal pulling might have been worse. Sounds to me like there was something else going on with a "sloshy" stomach and the feet not being normal. Did you try to get a calf to graft on her so that you can salvage her lactation and at least give your son some payback down the road? Maybe check the minerals.?...a lot of places are E & selenium deficient and that can cause problems with the feet joints. We use a high E&selenium mineral mix here to combat our lacking it. [/QUOTE]
