[QUOTE="lennie, post: 285651, member: 4983"] Hi, I am new here, my husband and I have a few beef cattle. Three cows and two Year and a half old calves. The cows were bred again and we are now having late calves. The first calf on the ground this year is doing very well. The second calf is my problem. At about two weeks old, we noticed he was limping, a week and a half later, he wouldn't walk on his back leg and had a big knot above the knee. Called the vet, vet gave him a shot of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory. A week later no better, so took him to clinic for xray. Found out he must have gotten stepped on and has a broken pelvis. My vet says, he will heal? We are keeping him contained and pail feeding him. Anyone have any experience with this? He still will put only a very minimal amount of weight on the back leg? I just keep second guessing the Vet and wonder if we shouldn't have just put him down? Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
