[QUOTE="doova, post: 554089, member: 8469"] he didn't seem to be doing as well as the others so I decided i'd bring him home into the house yard, i went up the farm with the trailer the next evening and he was down. there were a couple of marks on his hindlegs near his fetlocks(like gravel rash on the fronts) but he was out in the middle of the paddock, not caught up in anything, nor near anything. the only other difference was we had a bull get in his paddock the night before-whether he attacked him? Vet didn't see him, just guessing cos i said same as above. He didn't appear 'sick' before, just wasn't putting on weight, he was really easy to pick out from the others weight/growing wise. tonight i was able to get him up by myself-just picked up under his flanks and he got straight up and stayed up for a good 20 mins, walking around a bit but i have to help one leg along, he is knuckling over a bit which seems to be getting worse cos of all his crawling around. the main worry is a lot of the time he will lay stretched flat out which i'm guessing is not a good sign. pls help as he has a name now and i'm so attatched to "Tommy" [/QUOTE]
