[QUOTE="T-Wacker, post: 1567656, member: 22704"] I attempted to finally make the heifer stand Friday and noticed that her right rear leg seemed swollen and stiff. After getting some help Saturday morning, it was apparent that her leg was completely dead and starting to decay. It had zero movement and was completely stiff and she was never going to be able to stand again, so I had her put down. Sad situation as she was really eating well and seemed like she had her strength back. I was told she probably tore her blood supply to the hip/leg and there was nothing I could have done, but still a hard pill to swallow. [/QUOTE]
