[QUOTE="johndeerefarmgirl, post: 420250, member: 6873"] Hi, I found this website awhile ago, but I'm new to these message boards. I have a question I HOPE someone can help me with. I have a 10 year old pet Holstein steer that had an injured back leg this spring. I had the vet out and it seemed sprained. So I seperated him from the cattle and put him on bute. He responded well and I no longer needed the bute. Then 2 days ago, there was a mixup and he ended up in the pasture with our 3 year old bull before I could put him in a seperate pasture. WELL..the bull went after him from behind and now he has a hard time walking! (Probably what happened in spring!) He doesn't like to put weight on the foot. I feel absolutely sick! Shouldn't have happened. My question is, how can you tell if the leg is sprained, injured or broken? May sound like a dumb question, but I've never had a cow or bull with a broken leg? Can they even stand? I just picked up some more bute from the vet today. If anyone has any help or advice, my steer and I would really appreciate it. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
