My abandoned twin had a terrible first few hours. First his mother leaves him to die, then a cougar tries to eat him. The first time i looked at the calf, he was untouched. Went to finish my rounds in this herd and saw that the lone calf was a twin so i went back to find him trotting from the area i had just spotted him. When i got close, i saw a drip of blood on his back. I must have interrupted the cougar when i drove up..When we took a closer look, the hole was deep and would not stop dripping blood. By morning, his back end was very swollen. Long story short, after this area was shaved to treat, it revealed other puncture wounds and claw marks...
He's doing fine, vet dug out bone off his spine that was broken off.. Vet seems to think that his chances are good...
The red is packing...there is a golf ball sized hole there to get out bone fragments...bone had to come out..
