[QUOTE="Dee, post: 201033, member: 350"] The calf is still alive, but seems slow, and somewhat uncomfortable. I pulled it off mom yesterday, I thought it wasn't going to make it another day. I have given it a little milk replacer. I have called 2 different vet clinics. One has never seen anything like it, and didn't even want to look at it. The other said they didn't know what to do, but offered to send someone to euthinize (sp) it. It seems to strain to poop, but does manage to get a little out. The vulva is very low, but also has a small opening, not even the size of a pencil, that it may be able to pass a little urine out of. After getting nothing positive from the vet, I had my AI tech stop. His opinion was to cut the openings for manure and urine a little bigger. Should I attempt a "do it yourself" surgery, or assume that at 5 days old if it isn't dead yet it should be fine? [/QUOTE]
