[QUOTE="lennie, post: 324673, member: 4983"] I thought I would just give you an update on this calf. After a month or so of keeping him in a small pen with limited exercise, he developed an infection at the site of the hematoma. We called the vet back and it was drained, gave him a weeks worth of penicillian. About 4 weeks ago, he finally started putting weight on his back leg and now walks, and runs and kicks alittle. He appears to be doing much better and has doubled his weight (I would guess he is about 120lbs or so. He will probably always have a limp and his crushed side leg makes him turn his foot inward some, but we are hoping he will come along. I really did not believe my vet that he would eventually be okay, but I guess he was right. Realistically though, he will be short lived and probably headed for the freezer before you know it!
