[QUOTE="Carrie, post: 465391, member: 361"] Ok folks, this calving season officially stinks. I just had to put down a 1 day old bull calf that had an imperforate anus. Noticed this little guy straining to poop, took a look and could find no opening and his little rear was clean as a whistle. Had the vet out (different one this time) He was able to open the membrane covering the anal sphincter, but the intestines ended in a blind loop, no rectum. ARGH! Does anyone know if this is a heritable trait? This was an Angus calf out of VRD and a Forever Lady dam. I'm beginning to feel like the bovine Dr. Kevorkian.....sigh. [/QUOTE]
