[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 843083, member: 5106"] Keep stretching them and let him walk as much as possible, when he stands try to really help him stretch them out and put weight on them for short periods. I am sure that soon you will never have known he had them. Best of luck and he is a really nice looking ,chunky fella :D I have found that if you catch a calf as soon as possible after they are born with contracted tendons (twins are notorious for this) help them stand and stretch the hooves out right away before they have a chance to really "set" in that position it makes a world of difference on how fast they recover and stand normally . I have never heard of the term bumble foot before Dun, always heard them referred to as contracted tendons . [/QUOTE]
