[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 12425"] If it's her stifle (knee), she may have ripped a ligament, or even her ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). These will heal with time, and may leave permanent damage which will not resolve. She must be on soft solid footing which will not slip--that will blow her leg much worse. She cannot be naturally bred for at least a few months. Calving could be tricky right now as well--could drop her permanently if she pinches a nerve in her pelvis.... I've seen animals recover from injuries I thought would be the end, so time, TLC and good footing are very important to the outcome. Good Luck! V [/QUOTE]
