[QUOTE="hillsdown, post: 661817, member: 5106"] My second twin heifer born was locked on moms hip because her little back legs were crossed..She had extensive swelling almost the same as yours and she could only stand to nurse if she rested against mom or I held her..(in one leg only as well)... I had her x rayed and everything nothing showed up and like your definitely not joint ill. I did a regimen of an anti inflammatory and antibiotic. She was able to walk around with a limp after a few days and now at 8 weeks old you wouldn't even know that she had a problem. BTW I did the anti inflammatory for 3 days straight and then every second day for 2 weeks and I used a steroidal AI. I would also get her to use the leg as much as you can without causing injury.. Nice looking calf MM and a heifer to boot, good luck with her, but she should pull through. I also gave her electrolytes every 3rd day or so to help with her PH balance, like you I did all that I could think of.. ;-) Here is a pic of Kayla and her twins. Kyla and Kylee (on the far left the one refered to in the post). [img]http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x196/hillsdown/Apr28_0002.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
