[QUOTE="Alice, post: 338662, member: 3873"] I've read here that people have splinted the calves legs. And, if the momma isn't freaky, every few hours, go out and hold the calf up to nurse, at least until his legs strengthen. I'd bet he'll be better every day...but that's just my opinion. Maybe the vet can direct you to where you can find some sort of splints that won't do more harm than good. And if you do splint the legs, put enough vet wrap around where the splints can rub and cause sores and pain. If the calf hurts, he sure won't try to stand. Again, just my opinion. Alice [/QUOTE]
