[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1773427, member: 411"] I would keep her separated from everyone. Put her in the chute to allow the calf to nurse multiple times. We tube as little as possible once the calf can get up. Within 12-24 hours we usually have known if the heifer will settle down or not. Hormones, confusion and the pain from delivery have caused this a few times over the years. Once they have settled down we work on getting them back together and all has gone well. Never had a repeat in following years nor had it pass down to offspring. Is that picture of her newborns foot? It appears the hoof capsule is gone if I am looking at it correctly? Appears sensitive lamini is visible? Hopefully that's just an illusion of the photo. If so though that's a pretty nasty injury that I wouldn't even know about treatment with. A vet would be required and a LOT of treatment I would think. [/QUOTE]
