6 week old holstein steer calf.
Temp is normal. Weaned last week. In past few days, food/water intake down. Calf is up and around. Good looking eyes, and alert ears, however worried about dehydration setting in with water intake down.
It appears that its from shoulder is dislocated. Rather than the leg being inline with body strait down, it is sticking about about 1"-1 1/2". Will do all nessessay not to put weight on that hoof.
Am I calling a vet, or is this correctable for someone who have never dealt with this in the past?
I am willing to call the vet as she will be out here in 2-3 weeks for angus herd health check. May as well move that up if she should come out for that.
