[QUOTE="lakeportfarms, post: 726653, member: 9413"] We had a calf with the same symptoms last year, we think it was tossed by one of the horses. Healthy and running around and when we looked a bit later she was down and the rear legs wouldn't move. Did just about everything we could do, including a sling, steroids, and trying to massage and stimulate some movement but it never happened over about 4 weeks. She did have some feeling and slight movement, but not enough to support her weight. It sounds like it may be some damage to the nerves/spine near the rear hips. In any case I would hang on for a week or so and if there is no improvement the chance is very slim that there will be a recovery. Good luck... [/QUOTE]
