[QUOTE="colleen, post: 955731, member: 13004"] Better known as bumble foot or contracted tendons. We had one a few months ago. Stretched its legs out and pushed gently on the joint to stretch the tendon. Did it several times a day till the momma cow got tired of us. Only a few days. It walked around on it's tip toes. Fell on its knees a lot but within 14 days it was good as new. If it hadn't of gotten better vet was going to give it a shot of oxytetracycline. Didn't need it and he did not advice using splints. Could cause more problems when all it needed was time to walk around and stretch the tendons on its own. Do a search on bumble foot calf or contracted tendons in calves on here or online. I would just try to stretch them out when you can and it will be fine. Good luck!! Colleen [/QUOTE]
