I just wanted to give an update on the calf from this thread. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=71580&e=0 I also have a couple questions. He is 6 weeks old today and he is still not walking normally. This is a picture from today of how he walks at his very best.
As you can see, he still has a ways to go. At 6 weeks old, is there any chance he could still go back to normal eventually? Or should we give up on him? Is there anything else we can try doing to get him to walk normally? So far we have tried lots of physical therapy, and lately we've been using splints on him. (The splints are made of a 3" pvc pipe cut in half the long way and taped onto the front of his leg with duct tape. They go from a tiny bit above the tip of his hoof to a couple inches below his knees.) He also has some swelling between his "toes" on both front hooves which we are having a vet look at today. Anyway, I just wanted to get some opinions as to whether or not there's anything else we can do, and if we should even try any longer. Thanks!
