[QUOTE="regolith, post: 1127797, member: 9267"] It's quite possible for a fracture to result from a fall. Every one I've seen has occurred on concrete, but cows slip all the time on pasture - on a dung pat, on a slope, fighting with each other, then there might be rabbit holes or the like. For her to be walking around and 'improving' at this stage does not sound like a fracture, so hopefully the previous posters are correct and your vet is simply inexperienced. Brangus; my experience is that it is five to six weeks minimum before any improvement is seen after a fracture; at that point it can be rapid. However that's a total of one calf plus personal experience of broken bones, everything else was shot within a few days of the injury. [/QUOTE]
