[QUOTE="El_Putzo, post: 278081, member: 1017"] My vet finally got back to me after we played phone tag for a day. He seems to think it could either be broken/dislocated or it could be a naval infection because of the swelling in the leg joints. He said without looking at it he couldn't make a dianosis. I'll be taking the calf up to the vets office in the morning. It seems weird though if it is a naval infection because he shouldn't have been born with an infection. Maybe he has some nerve damage, and now also a naval infection. The thing that baffles me is that after 23 days this calf is still healthy as a horse. No scours, eats like a pig, has a nice shiney coat and tries like heck to get up and walk. He has definitely not given up. Edit: Sorry, I almost forgot to answer the question. yes, he can walk a little. He wobbles a lot since he doesn't put any weight on the one back leg, but he can normally hobble around a little, until he gets excited and tries to move to fast, then he goes down. [/QUOTE]
