I need some help!!
I have a heifer that was calving last Monday, unfortunately, i believe quite a while before I got home from work and got the calf pulled. She was unable to get on her own up until Friday in which time we were using a "hip hoist" to assist her to speed the process along.
She is now able to get up on her own, but drags her right leg and even walks on her ankle at times. She seems to be able to bare weight on both back legs when standing, just walking is a huge issue...We have been giving her the medication the vet suggested until Friday at which we stopped.
What are your suggestions and thanks for your time...
