[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 365446, member: 539"] It sounds like maybe the tendons and ligaments in that one leg have not tightened up like they should have - possibly due to her position in the womb. I would only keep her in the house for one night, then tuck her and mom into an open-fronted shed with some bedding. That would limit how far she has to go to find mom and milk, but also encourage use of the leg. Using the leg should help everything tighten up and work properly, but you might have to milk mom out and bottle until it does straighten out. I would also get the calf up and help her move around.
