[QUOTE="black and red, post: 915185, member: 18341"] I have a heifer calf that is about a month old or so. She isn't putting any weight on her front left leg. If she's just walking around she'll be on 3 legs. When running she'll hobble on 4. Her leg doesn't look broke or bent - although maybe i'm missing signs??? Its been going on for close to 2-3 weeks and gettting slightly worse. She's the runt of the group and not gaining like the others. I hate to lose or have a calf fall behind like this. What can a person do? I had an older neighbor say she'll just be a butcher calf/cow when she comes back from grass this summer if her leg doesn't heal up right and said he wouldn't worry about it. It happens. I hate to hear that sort of thing. I'm not a huge cattle owner and I'll pursue any options to get this calf back to 100%. Any help or suggestions is appreciated. [/QUOTE]
