[QUOTE="Keren, post: 674814, member: 3195"] I guess my reply is not specific to this calf, but for animals in general. For example, a friend's horse recently went through a barb wire fence, tore off all the flesh on a front leg, now she is treating it and it is slowly healing, but the majority of people have said to both me and her, that they would have just put the horse down immediately, rather than putting the horse through all that pain. Well, I have seen injuries like that before, and I've seen broodmares who have healed up and gone on to breed many foals. So I dont understand the mentality of people who say, the animal is going to be in so much pain during the treatment, why dont we just put it down. And yet, after the pain during the treatment, the animal will lead a relatively normal life :???: I understand euthanasing if there is a bad prognosis, very little chance of recovery. But if the recovery chance is good, then surely the animal would prefer to endure the pain and come out better in the end? I know I would. [/QUOTE]
