[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 636295, member: 8192"] Good luck with him. We had a bad one born a couple of months ago, a big white charolais bull calf and he could only walk on his front knuckles and sort of sideways on them too. It looked hopeless. He was nowhere near any facilities so we decided to leave him a week or two and see what happened. We mustered the paddock last week and branded the calves and he was 100% normal. Also, I recently read where it is common practice by top vets on the thoroughbred breeding farms in Australia to give oxytetracycline injections to valuable foals with contracted tendons. It says it causes the tendons to relax and allows them to lengthen. [/QUOTE]
