She was limping terribly, with something going on with her back left leg/foot. Short version, vet said the only thing he can figure is a hairline fracture or deep bruise of the femur area. This was a week ago and she is doing better, but still limps at times or drags the foot. She is 3 years old and otherwise healthy. We have done quite a bit of research this week and have some ideas, but this board is so knowledgable that we thought we would ask, what can cause this? Assuming she was head butted or twisted wrong, etc., I wouldn't think it normal for this to fracture a leg. What could be the underlying cause of fragility? Side note. She is pulled up by the barn away from the herd and the milk thieves, and we are officially on calf watch. She is normally on pasture and hay, has not had a diet change, there was no swelling, nothing in her hoof, no fever, breath smelled fine, poop was normal. About 4 hours after i took the video, she went down and didn't get back up for about 3 hours. [/QUOTE]
