[QUOTE="plash23, post: 202730, member: 2395"] Thank you to all who responded. I 'think' the calf is doing better, but still I have my doubts. I really don't understand what's wrong with her. Her front right leg seems to be the one she wants to put the least weight on but her back right is the one that is stiff. I finally got a search that had some good info for me. Medic24 listed out some good things that I needed to check. So went through all that last week. Pulse & temp good. I've checked for breaks in every bone I can feel. She really doesn't have any swelling except maybe just a slight bit in (lower radial joint?). I'm still helping her up at least 3-4 times a day to make sure she's getting to eat. Twice a day I do a little physical therapy (as much as I can anyway). I've seen her up twice before of her own doing and she was hobbling around pretty well. So ? is.... this morning when I was working with her when she excreted the most awful, putrid... um stuff .... and it had a little blood in it at the end. I wasn't so worried about it because it was red. Also her front hooves were very warm (almost suprisingly warm) and her back were pretty cold although her legs were not. I don't know anything about bovine physiology so thought I would check with you guys and most knowledgeable women for that matter. Thanks, Pam [/QUOTE]
