This happens occasionally, unfortunately. Keep a very close eye on the calf and see if it has any damage like broken bones or deep bruises. Sometimes, although the mother's hoof made contact with the calf, she can pull her weight back and not hurt the calf. If there is trauma, you will need to keep the calf and mother alone until the vet can get there to see what can be done for the calf. If the injuries are severe, the best option may be to put the calf down.
My 400# calves are good size animals- I would be suprised if any weight human that has the physical ability to mount them would be able to hurt them or break them down.
The lion approached the second oryx calf cautiously, stalking it from a distance. The oryx calf appeared to sense the lion's presence and quickly moved towards the safety of its herd. The lion eventually gave up the chase as the herd gathered around the calf, protecting it from any potential danger.
No, but it can have hay. Hay can be given to a calf at any age.
Gustav Schafer has 2 tattoos: wings on his upper back and a shooting star on his right forearm and the lyrics to "Hurt" on the back of his calf.
A healthy calf should have NO diseases. As a matter of fact, ANY calf should be disease free!
Zynga is stupid, and they don't let any foal or calf grow into what it is the foal or calf of.
A healthy newborn foal should be trying to get up and walk to the mare to nurse in less than an hour. The mare should be nuzzling the foal and licking it, encouraging it to stand to nurse and learn to walk.
A Dexter calf does not need any treatment[s] if it is healthy.
A cow can survive if her calf is dead in her womb. But if that calf is not expelled or pulled out soon, she could die as well.
Absolutely NONE. Do not give any pain meds to a calf if it does not need it.
An orphan calf will defecate at any time. A newborn calf tends to defecate a couple hours after he has first suckled, since milk is nature's way to encourage a calf to have his first bowel movements.
