[QUOTE="dun, post: 601097, member: 34"] It's possibly to rectally palpate the hips. If you push to the side and you hear the sound or feel a pop it's a hip problem. 3 years ago Granny at the young and tender age of 15 started having a popping sound from her right hip. You could visually see the hip pop as she walked. Since she was ursing a calf we decided to let her raise the calf then butcher her. To decrease the pain, at the vets recommendation, we put her ina smaller area of about one acre. Twice a day for a couple of weeks she got a dozen aspirin. Set up a creep gate so her calf oculd come and go as he pleased but she was restricted. Vet figured the pain treat6ment would allow her to make it through weaning. She will be 19 in thr spring, hip problem is totally gone, last year she stood for natural service with no problem. She walkes slowly and doesn;t lead the herd anymore. But she knows the drill and if the others get distracted and lose focus on being moved, she will come to the front and get them where they belong. I razz the vet about his prognosis of how long she would last. He's amazed at how well she has recovered and happy he was worng. [/QUOTE]
