[QUOTE="danl, post: 355833, member: 229"] I have a calf that was born 10 days ago and still is getting around like it was 2 hours old. It can't hardly get up and when it does it stumbles around and falls down a lot. It just kind of staggers around. It has a good appetite and looks completely normal when it laying down. It's alert and it looks fine. It looks healthy out of its eyes. I messed with it some the day it was born and it is strong. And doesn't like me bothering it, neither does the cow. Makes me a little nervous working with a calf and a 1200 pound cow pawing the dirt 6 feet away. ( I had a tree close by to jump behind if neccesary.) It seems kind of bowed down in the back. when it walks. Never had one act like this before, I guess I will call the vet tomorrow and see if he will give me something for it, based on his best guess. The vets around here don't get out of there clinics much and I don't really blame them they are covered up with small animal patients. By the way i forgot to say, it was a week to ten days early at least. Any ideas? Thanks Dan [/QUOTE]
