[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 333803, member: 852"] Perhaps because an older calf is less likely to die from "other" causes - like scours - after you have the hernia fixed. No sense in fixing a hernia only to lose the calf to something else soon after, esp since when they're young they're more sensitive and fragile. Also, could be the vet wonders if it would fix itself on its own; they do that sometimes. Dun has a really cheap home treatment for hernias... has something to do with duct tape. [/QUOTE]
