[QUOTE="afinney76, post: 1365676, member: 26006"] We have a week old calf with a broken leg. We talked to our vet and she told us to splint it with a piece of pvc pipe, making sure it was longer than leg so the weight was on it instead of the leg. I took a pool noodle($1.00 at DG) cut it in two so the pipe fit in it and wouldn't cause irritation. We wrapped it all up and he's doing great! We use this method on a baby goat and in 3 weeks she was great with no problems. Also make sure you wrap entire leg including foot to prevent any swelling! Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
