That would be too late. Get him back with mama and do physical therapy there - assuming she's docile enough. Plan B: separate her while you're working on him.

Did the vet say why he's not getting up? You might want to try the Madigan Squeeze for a "dummy calf". Link below and there are tons of videos online. Another reason may be damage from pulling. Are his joints in place? Nothing looks broken?

She's not docile, unfortunately. I will ask my vet today about the Madigan squeeze when she comes today to tube again. I am assuming he just had a really tough birth but I will ask. Thanks again!

And no, his joints look totally fine, nothing broken or out of place

Actually he's not, he's pretty big. I have a hard time picking him up and I'm used to moving hay and grain.
