[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1407331, member: 411"] Fellow rancher called me and ask me to take a heifer calf she had. Timeline for calf: Large calf out of small second calf cow pulled on the 3/9/17 Turned out two days later to pasture with the rest of the herd (not by her choice) Calf went missing on the 21's and 22nd. Seemed to be fine before that. They thought it might be dead and gone. (Coyotes) Found on the 23rd very weak. She had two injuries on her. One in her pit and one on her butt. Brought mom and baby into the corrals for treatment. Tube fed lambs milk since the 23rd and nursing mom when they get her up. But doesn't seem to be getting adequate milk from mom. She also got diarrhea on the lambs milk so she added the electrolytes. Front knee's are swollen but couldn't tell me how long they noticed them swollen. She had Draxxin on the 23rd by the rider who found her and then 2cc's of banamine and 6cc's of LA300 this morning. (4/1/17) When I went to pick her up tonight she said she was moving better but I could clearly see pretty swollen joints. Some heat in them but not terrible. No swelling in the naval at all but she has had antibiotics so maybe that's gone now? I would like to treat her with Nuflor but not sure how long to wait after LA300. I don't cross antibiotics here so I'm not sure what would be the right thing to do. She didn't drink her bottle tonight but I believe she's just being lazy because they were tube feeding her. Also the milk taste funny as it's not moms. She did go up to mom and want to nurse but mom is wild and because we were there she wasn't having any part of it. Mom btw is growing wheels! Thoughts? Suggestions? I'm giving her a week or so shot at recovery. Tonight when I attempted bottle feeding I gave her vitamin B complex and probiotics. Hopefully by morning she will be hungry enough to try. Not the greatest pictures but the best I could do in the dark. Thanks in advance! I don't have experience with joint I'll as we treat umbilicals on any calves up front in the calving pens or pulled calves. We've been lucky for a long time.
