Feedback on calf with broken leg

Question

Cheeky drinking
Hi Jana, this is not a question, but rather feedback on a calf with a broken leg that you helped me with in October last year.

Cheeky broke her leg and was abandoned by her mother. You gave me great advice on how to splint the leg correctly.

She has been weaned and is walking outside with the rest of her herd with no difficulty. The leg didn't grow on perfectly straight but it doesn't seem to bother her at all and she can run and play like any of the others!

Thanks so much for your help back then. I thought you might appreciate a "healthy" picture.


Answer
Adele,
She is gorgeous! You did a great job on her. Congratulations on such a great outcome. As long as she walks, eats and does what she is designed to do it's a winner!
Thank you so much for sending me this. I actually thought about her not too long ago and wondered how she was. I think about all the animals in here I answer questions on at some point and the owners that have lost theirs- I often wonder how they are doing.

You made my day! This is what being a vet tech is all about!!
Thanks again,
Jana
