[QUOTE="J Hoy, post: 1693499, member: 16398"] Contracted tendons on newborn grazing animals is often caused by disrupted calcium metabolism during development in the womb. For some reason, the cells of the developing fetus do not uptake the needed calcium and other minerals, sometimes resulting in disrupted bone growth of the facial bones (underbite and overbite) and sometimes resulting in missing digits or parts of limbs. Mild disruption of the fetuses calcium metabolism can result in contracted tendons or weak pasterns.

Phos. is the brand that I used, but there are other brands. Health food stores usually carry these electrolyte pills.
