What has happened to this calf?

[bert]

Stood on his own this morning in the corner of the shed, hadn't noticed anything wrong with him before. Both front shoulders stuck out at a funny angle, the picture doesn't show just how far they are stuck out.

Any ideas what it is or what I can do for him? Surely if both shoulders had dislocated he wouldn't be able to stand? He does walk about, makes him puff abit though

Has he been stuck in the feed barrier through the night?

Looks like it's had it's front legs in a ring feeder or somthing and it's resulted in a fluid build up on the shoulders

That's what I'm thinking

They are on an off lying farm so only go once a day, it's a possibility as the square feeder was empty this morning, never seen them in it before though, looks a very strange shape now

If it's empty I'd say he's been trying to get in to get something to eat from the middle and got stuck

What do you think I should jab him with? Just a pain relief?

Yes give him a jab of metacam it's anti inflammatory too so will help
