[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 719436, member: 852"] Calf was put down Sunday. Don't know exactly what happened to him initially, but the responses I've gotten from most of the vets I've asked have implied a spinal lesion, cracked vertebrae, broken back, that sort of thing. Looks like a probable injury. Maybe he was laying down by one of the watering tanks this summer and a mature cow stepped on him. Interesting case, I wanted him put down 2 months ago when we weaned, but a person can only be so pushy when it's not their own animal. He was turning into a downer this past weekend when I was up there (I gave him a tail lift to get him up and walking so I could get that video) and so the decision was finally made. Thanks for the input, y'all. :) [/QUOTE]
