We had a super hard pull last night on a bred heifer. Calf presented backwards and we were unable to get the calf out. The vet ended up doing a cesarean and getting the calf out alive.
This morning, calf is able to stand but both back legs, from mid-canon down are swollen and both fetlocks are wanting to flex, resulting in the calf walking on its anterior "knuckles". Front legs are fine. They do straighten if you do it manually.
Im assuming this is just a tendon or nerve damage due to the hard pull. Wondering if theres any good treatment for it. I was thinking maybe some banamine? dex?
Any thoughts?
