[QUOTE="mtnhunter, post: 1603366, member: 20494"] Thanks for all the replies. I took the splint off this morning and was dismayed to find it hadn't healed any at all. The leg was rotten around the break and the smell was horrible. I don't know if I did something wrong or it was just bad luck. I know I had probably overdosed it with antibiotics but the calf was clear eyed and growing every day. The vet said I had done what she would have done and cautioned me that if the skin was broken the prognosis was not good. I know this is part of it but it sucks. I wish the peta people could see how hard we fight to save some of these animals when bad luck hits but then they would have to admit that we care more about the animal than we do the money. :( [/QUOTE]
