[QUOTE="angie1, post: 987816, member: 3886"] When my vet was dealing with my calf he explained that what they do with these, if caught in time, is reroute the urethra so that the steer calf urinates from under his tail, like a heifer. But with mine the calf had already ruptured. The behavior in mine the day before was very similar to what FSR was seeing. For those of you who wonder how to identify it in the future, my steer was pushing like he had to poop, standing stretched out and had prolapsed rectally. I had the vet out and the vet felt the calf was obstructed, gave him and enema, and took care of the rectal prolapse. The next day I called the vet and described new developments. Vet came back out, diagnosed water belly, explained my options, and suggested euthanasia. Vet said it is very uncommon, and I did not change my protocol based on this experience. [/QUOTE]
