[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 665110, member: 3739"] Anyone ever heard of calves getting navel hernias? More so, having any calves to go into surgery to get a N.H fixed? Usually the hernias I've heard about are only about the size of two fingers, but this one the vet Dr. B had to operate on was a little over the size of the length of my whole hand. Dr. B told the owner (upon being asked) that the occurance of these hernias is genetic; it had nothing to do with feed or birthing problems nor mineral deficiencies. Anyway, Dr. B spent a good couple hours putting the stomach membrane back together, and another half hour trying to get the calf to breath again after it stopped breathing a half a dozen times on him. The heart stopped too a couple times. And thought the calf had really gone on us once. But luckly, all of a sudden the calf came back and was up and about in the trailer when me and another assistant had to give him a vacc. He was a Charolais calf, btw. Purebred Char. A bit of interesting info that I learned today that I thought I'd share. :) [/QUOTE]
