We are having a bad run of luck so far. Is this a picture of a contracted tendon?? This calf could not get up, so we put mom in the chute and let it suck on all 4 of the teats. Is this a contracted tendon or is it deformed?? It also has a swollen rear leg that might be broke, but it doesn't squirm or squell when we mess with it. Should I to bring it to the Vet in the morning, or just knock it in the head??
One more question, I tried to milk her but I never got any milk or colostrum to squirt out. But when we put him up to her teats he went to sucking hard. But we didn't see any milk or colostrum on his mouth. Going to run mom in the chute again before dark and try one more time. Hate to lose another calf, but it don't look good to me.
