[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 339392, member: 968"] I have never heard of the calf having difficulty with nerve damage from being in the birth canal too long - not saying it couldn't happen. More likely there is nerve damage from the pull. Either too much pressure pulling for too long at one time or possibly the chains were not double hitched above and below the dew claws. Did you get the colostrum into the calf? Did the vet tell you to roll the heifer over from side to side several times a day? You need to get the pressure off of one side every so many hours. Vitamin B-12 should be given for nerve damage. Will the calf stand if you pick it up? If so, try to do that several times a day. Also, try to have it up when you feed the calf. Is it sucking?? or did you tube feed it? [/QUOTE]
