Silver,
I'm wondering how your calf is doing? I hope he is recovering. If you can't easily catch him, it seems like he's better off than mine. But I suppose mine is more familiar with me, in a smaller area, and has no idea she can even get away. She usually just lays there while I slip on a halter before asking her to get up. They have access to a small two acre pasture, but she usually just waits for the cow in the shade of the shed.
On the 15th I decided it would not hurt to give her one more dose of Banamine. It had been a week since the last dose. She had a normal temperature, but walked very stiff. I think she was sore on both front legs and maybe all four. The next morning she was moving a little more, but it was very clear she was limping on the right front. That seems weird because I think her left knee is more swollen. She is moving less humped over I think. Before, I thought she kind of moved with her head straight out and her back a little arched.
She got her third shot on the 16th. She now is clearly favoring the right front leg. Her temperature continues to be normal and she eats well. I'm not sure what to do from here on.
Here is a photo I took yesterday. To me, it looks like she kind of walks more on the toe of her right foot, avoiding the heel.
