Last week I pulled a calf out of a heifer. It wasn't a bad pull, once the head and shoulders came through, the rest of the calf fell out after about 10 seconds. The heifer bellowed mightily while I was pulling the calf and went down when the calf came out. She got up again when I opened the crush, and then went straight over to eat hay. The calf was up pretty quickly and sucked the heifer. A couple of hours later I let them both out and they walked off down the paddock. I saw them again later and all was fine, the calf walking about. Next morning, the calf could not get up, its hindlegs useless. And so it remains a week later despite dex injections and physio. It had not been trampled or injured, I'm sure the problem is birth related. Has anyone seen this before, where they could get up and down and walk, and then couldn't? and might she come good like downer heifers do after about 6 weeks?? Probably not.
