[QUOTE="Breezy, post: 387503, member: 6507"] Hi all, found this board by looking up stuff on my downed calf. He's 2 months old and was limping (It looked like he was walking on his tiptoe) on his left front leg for a while. Figured he twisted something but he never got better on it and his Momma is mean enough we couldln't get him away. Then he started wobbling on his back legs. Next day we found him stretched out on his side, we brought up to the barn (think his mom had given up on him) Been giving him pen. and he seemed to perk up some and he's eating grain now and he drinks good (from a pepsi bottle :lol: ) One vet didn't return my call another said it was grass tetanus(?) but his legs bend. He lays out flat on his right side but will sit up on his left. I'm just the babysitter and the in-laws say give up on him and don't bother taking him to the vet. But after hand feeding the sucker I can't give up on him yet. Sorry for the book but I wanted to give as much info as I could. Oh, no heat in any of his joints. Thanks bunchs, Breezy [/QUOTE]
