[QUOTE="Cdavis, post: 231725, member: 4174"] Hiya, everyone...I'm TJ's ("Tom D's") little sister :roll:, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the concern and advice you gave us on our little calf. I didn't have much to do with her until March so I don't know how many of your suggestions that he looked into, but still I appreciate it. She was just a little calf doomed from the start, I guess. All of the people we asked around here told us to euthanize her and get it over with, that there was no healing to be done in the poor thing. We didn't have the heart to do it. We loved her very much -- she was my "little sister" -- and we just couldn't. Despite almost no improvement, we had hope for her up until the end. She was four months old when she passed away the day before Easter. We never knew why -- there weren't any obvious reasons. She had seemed just as alert and healthy as she ever did just the day before. One of our guesses was that it had something to do with her right side, which had grown irregularly because she was lying on it for at least 20 hours a day for four months. But we'll never know for sure, I guess. All the same, nature had the courage to do what we didn't. But that doesn't mean I miss the little bugger any less.

She would always rub and scratch her head against our legs, but when her horns started coming in that got painful. :shock: And you could scratch her right flank and rub her navel stump and she'd get this really distant look and start licking her lips. She would lick your face if you got close enough to her, and her tail would start wagging whenever she saw us coming to her. :D She was a good little girl and a very special experience for all of us here.
