[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 366992, member: 539"] This is going to sound cold and heartless, and I'm sorry for that, but if you take this calf to the vet, he/she is probably going to recommend taking X-rays. That is, after all, the only way to be certain if the hip is fractured, or simply dislocated. Should you decide to go that route, you will probably have more invested in vet bills than you will be able to recover from the calf - even if he recovers fully. I'm not advocating allowing an animal to be in pain, but it sounds like you're new to cattle and I didn't think it was right to not give you a heads up about what to likely expect. Be prepared to possibly be faced with some hard decisions regarding this calf. [/QUOTE]
