[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 1107837, member: 6198"] While not up on the PEM lingo, have you thought of navel ill? When it gets bad, it does effect the joints much like you have shown. The best way to tell is to feel the navel and check for hardness and heat. Now if it is, you will need an aggressive antibiotic like unfold and an anti inflam like anaconda or metacam. This is serious, and will result in back problems and even death....hopefully death before the back problem. The navel ill / joint ill is a direct link to the liver...that why it gets into the joints so fast. This is very hard to treat...search out suggestions here on the forum I have not looked on the link for your previous thread. For contracted tendons, did you give it selenium? Selenium deficiency is a direct result of contracted tendons. There are two doses on the bottle for calves. One is prevention, the other is treatment. Go for the treatment. There is a repeat ion doses x so many days later. Each drug company is different...check the bottle. [/QUOTE]
