3 month old limosine bull- this bull is valuable to the owner since it is a product of embryo transfer and shows genetic potential. Leg is extremely swollen and has been since shortly after birth.-calf was pulled and this is a progression of a previous problem. Calf is dragging left front limb-has been bandaged for multiple weeks. Uniformly swollen 2X the size of the other limb-hypertrophic bone growth. 2 granulating wounds on the limb-dead tissue in or at fracture site. Leg is obviously unstable-non-union of fracture. Area around the fracture is covered with pink epithelium-infected/inflamed tissue. Draining tract on the dorsomedial side of the leg and when manipulated purulent exudate came out-wound infection. Crepitance is palpated in the metacarpus at the site of instability-fracture has not healed. The metacarpal/phalangeal joint has limited range of motion Tight bands of tissue are palpated that connect the raised toes with the tissue on the dorsum-fibrous tissue is attempting to stabilize the fracture. Dam had a difficult delivery and force fetal extraction was necessary (OB chains were used along with Franks calf jack)-calf can be damaged during the pulling process. Leg was kept in a heavy cast for one month-pressure necrosis of tissue occurred. Calf is not presently using the limb well-has not healed. Limb is crooked and still does not appear healed but the calf is healthy otherwise-owner wants to save if possible. Owner would like to save due to the calf's great genetic potential-calf is a product of embryo transfer. Some areas of skin fell off at about 2 weeks and a half limb cast was applied for 3 weeks-previous treatment was unsuccessful.
