[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1105276, member: 19938"] She was a good size calf. Contracted tendons are caused by them laying curled up in the womb. The long bones grow faster then the tendon gets stretched. Very common. An xray will only show the bone. Not the tendons or ligaments. A torn ligament or a bowed tendon usually has a lump or knot that you can feel when you run your fingers down it. It would be more rare to see a tear or bow in BOTH legs at the same time, unless you pulled on the front legs awfully hard to get that calf out. (Even then, not very likely.) Just my opinion.
