[QUOTE="CattleMan1920, post: 1577481, member: 37967"] Get her in a clean stall with lots of straw ASAP and call the vet. I’ve had this happen in the past and they need time to take it easy, just like humans. I’ve kept them up, and in clean conditions for a week if necessary. I had a 12 year old that had a stifle injury, during the same conditions you experienced, she never fully recovered, but she was pregnant and went on to have a healthy calf and nurse her just like normal, she just moves a lot slower than everyone else. Fast forward, she is almost 14 and limps still, she’s in a lot with another grandma, and I’m preparing to AI her with sexed semen and get another daughter out of her. If they are worth it, I don’t give up on them till they drop. This requires effort and is not practical for everyone. I don’t know how much she matters to you, or how much time you have, but she will most likely stage a comeback of sorts unless she has a broken leg. [/QUOTE]
