Crowded in the womb,big baby,or just one of those things. Just make sure it's nursing/getting groceries and it will get over it.
These are growing babies and their tendons and bones are elastic. Learn physio of calf, get yourself some books and read up.
Best thing it can do is try to get up and walk on it's own. Few days to a wk or so and you'll never know it!

Why would you think that? Please note that I have never had an argument with you. EVER.
I have a fair amount of experience and I simply agreed with the majority of your comment.

Had a twin the other night so I put that calf on this cow and just dealing with this calf by himself. She was starting to get alittle spooky getting her in to nurse the calf.
The LA 200 does which did seem high to me and I made that comment to the vet and he said the same thing you did. But he told me that it probably wont work anyway. I never asked the vet, but do you give him one does of that and thats it? Or do you give him some more later on depending on if it works?
