[QUOTE="1848, post: 107717, member: 1303"] Sounds like the uterus didn't expand with the calf. The calf will probably get pnumonia from (1) not being able to be active and (2) possible aspiration pnumonia from having to be tubed all the time. I would give him a shot of B vitamin complex, and work his head for a couple of days. Maybe even try a mucle relaxer in the milk if you have it.. :) If he shows no improvement in 3 days I would dispose of it, that's if he dosn't die on his own. I have seen calves simular to this with their feet turned in at the hock, but never the neck. I have had a couple come with the minor bend in the leg myself, but it was gone in 48hrs, once they got to moving around. Good luck. Some self correct, others never do. [/QUOTE]
