Sorry to hear all this 3way!
Could the chronic swelling actually be edema? If so, seems like there could be a cardiac or pulmonary issue. Would they be willing to also give you the heart and lungs for inspection?

This has been a very interesting read sir, sorry for your loss. Your time and money spent show that you do what is needed as an animal Sheppard watching your flock. Great way to learn from this when you post your findings.
Question: Sorry if i missed it in the reading, has any blood testing been performed for other diseases?

In a human patient that would have had a similar procedure, we would suspect a pulmonary embolism. (A clot formed from the cath trauma, broke loose and went to the lung.)

Took a good hard look at him today. Looks like he may have turned the corner. He has lost easy 100lbs in the last month but he seems to be feeling a lot better. The green grass might just be the ticket.
I took a picture today and if it came out I will try to post a before and after so ya'll can see the difference.

Even if he gets 100% I will be lucky to break even on what I had him sold for this year, but seeing him look so much better is very gratifying.
I really like this calf and want to see him live to breed some cows for someone.
