[QUOTE="CowCop, post: 388477, member: 1049"] ~ Had a 1st calf heifer give birth earlier in May and found the calf with a broken leg the next day. Told my boss to "shoot it or ship it," as it was a rear leg and the break was high up. I was also on crutches myself, so I sympathized with the pain the calf was in. My boss surprised me and called the vet in and they did an amputation of its rear leg right in the grain room. Here are the "after" photos. I have the actual surgery photos as well, but am reluctant to put them on here as they are rather graphic. ~ Seems like every summer we have some sort of unusual calf situation. Here is the link to last years "Calf Education:" [url=http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21922&highlight=hydrocephalic+calf]http://cattletoday.com/forum/viewtopic. ... halic+calf[/url] [/QUOTE]
