[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1343475, member: 22072"] Those can be counter productive. We put swim noodles on them, just cut longways and cover the metal part, then duct tape them round and round so they stay put, but even after doing that they still will do damage to some. If she has movement in one leg, she has a chance. If she cant bare any weight on either back leg by now, chances are she'll never recover. Feed and water her and give her time. Once she quits drinking, its over and put her down. But, we had one this last season that went over 30 days and looked like he11 by the time she was standing on her own. I actually gave up way before her. She continued to eat and drink and finally stood on her own. The hip things had eaten into her bones and left giant hematomas the size of basketballs. She had one good leg that would stay put when we stood her. Bless her heart, she wanted to live... Good luck and fingers crossed she comes out of it... [/QUOTE]
