That is something you will mostly likely have to wait out. Ice is always an easy remedy to any injury. You can also take up to 800mg of ibuprofen to help with the pain, however, the pain should subside in a few days.
A cankle is a female's swollen ankle whose flesh merges in an unattractive way with that of the calf.
it should be. or the calf could "get stuck". the vulva will swell prior to giving birth unless the calf comes really early.
ya it is go see a doctor
He may have Joint Ill.
Most likely he has an abscess of some sort, or an ear infection. It could also be an allergic reaction to the tag put in his ear. Better have the vet check it out for you.
First, the calf may die if it doesn't get colostrum within an hour or two after birth. Secondly, the mother will simply dry up (stop milk production) if her calf doesn't survive or you don't get the calf to start suckling from his momma.
This depends on when you first put the calf on the bottle. But mainly, it'll be a few months that a calf goes from being dependent on the bottle to being fed as a feeder calf.
Sounds like an Achilles tendon injury.
Put hip lifters on it to get it to stand up, or put it down if the vet diagnoses the calf as unable to walk again.
No, it's her VULVA that should show a bit of swelling and be loose and floppy-like in order to be ready to have a calf (often within 24 hours). If your cow is swollen in her anus she could have some other problems like prolapsed anus or has diarrhea. See your vet ASAP with either case.
Usually, ice. It might depend on why it's swollen, though. If it is swollen from a sting or an allergic reaction, an ointment would be better.
