[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 544973, member: 852"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="MMsnewproject.jpg"]0[/ATTACH] Unfortunately this isn't one of the "freebies" I've occasionally acquired. :( She was normal when I bought her, and then a week later this showed up.) My vet won't give me the statistics, so her chance of full recovery is anyone's guess. Joint infection in the left front knee. When I went to inject it this morning with antibiotics it started trying to drain, so I figured I'd better help it out. :P Thoroughly disgusting actually. She's wearing a sweat/pressure wrap for the next 12 hours to (hopefully) keep the swelling down. She's sound at the moment -- even raced back to the barn at top speed this morning. I love watching calves run, but there's something special about watching a sick calf kick up their heels. :) :D My original decision was to give her until Tuesday evening (1 week) and then decide her fate, but seeing as that's only some 24 hours away, I'm thinking it's time to call my vet again and quiz him. *sigh* I'd of course prefer to let a calf live if they still have the will to, but at the same time... I've dealt with this once before and it didn't have a good outcome. Don't want to go through that again. [/QUOTE]
