[QUOTE="Louthelivestockguy, post: 1693530, member: 23094"] We had this occur on our farm when I was in high school. The vet said it was from selenium deficiency and that we should give the calf electrolytes and a calcium injection for energy and help with muscular growth. The calf lived, but in our area he would be a sitting duck if coyotes happened upon him early on before he was able to move better. He had a weird gate for 3 months after birth and his front lower legs knuckles were thicker from it! [/QUOTE]
