[QUOTE="Victoria, post: 363224, member: 1258"] I'm sorry I really don't understand this. What does your vet say? Does he think there is any hope for this calf or has he already suggested putting him down? This has been going on for six weeks and the calf still has puss coming out and won't stand on it! You have a starving calf who is retarded and can't stand up. Your daughter has grown an attachment to him. Sounds like a good young lady that wants to take care of an animal and that is great, you brought her up well. Now it is time to teach her phase two of taking care of an animal. Sometimes it is kinder to the animal to end it's suffering. When we take care of animals our own needs do not come first. Teach your daughter how to be a responsble animal owner. Sometimes it is painful but when it is over do as dun suggested and get her a healthy heifer calf to fall in love with. So no more vet because you don't want to put more money into the animal, instead you are going to sit around and watch it get thinner and weaker until it finally dies. Sounds like a much better thing to teach your daughter than just ending the calf's life quickly either with a bullet or one last vet bill. Watching a calf that she cares about in pain everyday is much harsher than watching it's suffering finally end. [/QUOTE]
