[QUOTE="Dave Clarkson, post: 1804619, member: 40567"] It is fiberglass. We put a lot of cotton and wrap. The wrap was tight enough to keep the leg in place but not super tight. We check the top of the cast to see how tight it gets. But you never know. My friend has a vibrating type saw that will cut the cast but not the calf. I would really like a sedative. It was hard to get the cast on because the calf kept kicking. That’s with me wrapped around it, my friend holding the leg and my wife wrapping and casting. It was tough because any movement moved the leg. My vet doesn’t think we will need a sedative but I would want one….Easy to get a tooth knocked out by a trashing calf’s head. I’ll have another discussion with him. I plan on following the three week plan above and keep an eye on it. Let’s hope it is heeled when we take it off [/QUOTE]
