[QUOTE="Logan52, post: 1799560, member: 32879"] I had a heifer calf this spring that was hurt during delivery. Found her in the early morning lying flat under a two wire electric fence (not touching the wire). Drug her out and gave her a bottle of colostrum. She could not get up, just laid flat and moved her legs like she was running. She could not stand and flopped to her side when you released her. Fed her milk from a bottle a couple of times but had little hope. Weather was nice so I left her outside with her very concerned mom. Went out the next day fully prepared to put her down but she was standing, though obviously hurting in her shoulder. She would stand just long enough to nurse and then lie back down. She gradually improved over a couple of weeks and began to associate with the other calves. She is thriving now but will never regain use of her front right shoulder. [/QUOTE]
