I just had a hairy x two tone hider calf born the first day she was born she could hardly walk around and nurse because her front legs were so stiff. I've been rubbing them everyday twice a day because I thought it could of been fluid built up and now she's only stiff on one front leg. Anyone know what this is from or a quick way to fix it ???

I cant tell you the science behind it. I have always thought that its an antibiotic and it helps with swelling and inflamation, but people around here say to give them a shot of LA 200 intermuscular or if caught real early with a syringer orally like less than 24 hrs old. We have tried it once and it seemed to work! For what its worth!
