[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1343473, member: 9267"] How long ago? If she's got calving paralysis you're doing what you can and time will fix it - usually a week if it's serious. (sorry, I see you said 6 days. She looks like she's standing well - hope she surprises you soon) You've got padded hip lifters which is good, the bad news is if hip lifters is your means of lifting them and especially if she's struggling to walk while she's up, those sores are going to happen - they're really best for a one-off get a cow back up scenario - but the sores will heal, a recumbent cow left on the ground probably won't. You could try adding a blanket under the hip lifters as long as they can still be wound down tight enough to get a good grip - I've never tried it, only had one cow in your situation that got bad sores and basically, they healed, getting her up every day was more important than worrying about the rub damage.
