[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 9848"] Without seeing the calf, if his legs are just buckled under, you can try sheet, or rolled cotton, and brown gause the vet wrap or duct tape, this will protect the legs but also help to staighten them out. Wrap the legs from the claws to above the knee, have someone help you, lay calf down, them after a think covering of cotton, wrap over with a six inch brown gause, then cover with vet wrap, or duct tape, the duct tape is better as it dose not give as much. But the calf will need to be helped as it will be difficlt to stand, this is a method often used on horses, but works well on calves too, treatment may take two to three weeks in really extreme cases. Wraps can stay on for upto a few days, best to check to make sure good circulation is occuring and let the calf try and stand with out them for a while, then re-wrap. Coton can be reused if clean. Cut duct tape with a knife or bandage sissors. Good luck. [email=kemilimo@tca.net]kemilimo@tca.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
