My uncle`s wife is a nurse and she has been treating it herself.the calf was fine, we are trying to decide if the has something twisted, a piece of metal in her, or something like that. I was wondering if they can get diabetes, it seems to me like that would be the problem. The vet is scheduled to come out in a couple of months, they live in a very rural part of the country and the nearest vet is ove two hours away, so its hard to have an emergency that he can actually help with. Also it is one of those things that she will most likely die before the vet gets there or after he has treated her. So, I don`t think my uncle wants to really spend the money on her. Thanks a lot for the advice from everyone.
