[QUOTE="wild one, post: 370692, member: 6279"] silly chicken any how, once we cleared up the navel th joints were still pretty bad. We treated with nuflor and predef. We kept him until october maybe november. His joints were still bad Every time we treated he would improve and at the end of the cycle of treatment he would get bad again. When the vet came out to preg check in the fall she said to put him down. the sore joints caused him pain and it was cruel to keep him alive. We did everything we could and more just like you. Because the joints were still enlarged she did not recommend eating him even though he long past withdrawl times. The vet was right, he was in pain. If a person sympathetic to animal right had been on the yard any time during this calf's life we could have been charged with cruelty. Just like you we try everything to the point of over trying to save the animals we love...but sometimes we have to make the hard call in the best interest of animal welfare. If you decide to treat him still, make sure you are using an anti inflamitory to help with the swelling, and pain. oh yeah this calf had a healthy apetite and no fever. weighed out pretty good to just one of those things that happens in a farmer's or farmer's wife's life Good luck [/QUOTE]
