[QUOTE="shadyhollownj, post: 981896, member: 9320"] So my recip from star lake calved sunday afternoon. Calving went ok. Calf was hip locked and hanging out of her for about a 90 seconds before falling out. Calf was a big bull calf 92 lbs. Everything was fine until I got home from the PA farm show at 9 pm on monday. I walked out to check them in their pen and he got up and fell over. My heart sank since his flush mates averaged 21,000. Though maybe he got stepped on or something since he was only 30 hours old. The next morning he was limping on back leg and knee was swollen. Called the vet he said 4cc of pennG twice daily. Temp was 103 and dropped by the next day. We also gave he banamine in the tail vein also. He can get up and walk and nurses but just walks gingerly but is a lot better than tuesday. I researched every post on here and hit him with nuflor today since I was thinking that would work better but we went with the vets advice on tuesday. He had fresh bedding and mom was licking cord so I didnt dip it. I was just curious if anyone thinks this would affect him later in life as far as walking when we treated so soon and he is showing improvement and joint or navel isnt swollen. Any advice would help since he is definitely not normal calf and a future herd bull. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
