I have one of my herd bulls down for the last 3 weeks. He doesn't seem to be able to use his hind legs. Had the vet out and he gave him some shots and said possibly he injured himself falling off a cow or maybe had a tumor putting pressure on the spine. Basically he had no idea of what the problem could be.
During the first week he did stand a few times and walked around very slowly. He scoots around the pen with his front legs and shoulders. Eats good, has clear eyes, clear nose, good disposition, etc. Hasn't lost a lot of weight or condition considering he has been down for 3 weeks.
This is about a 7 year old bull. He is red and a cross between Beefmaster and Limosin.
Does anyone have a suggestion or story about a similar experience? Anything like hooking a rope on his hind legs and stretching him out to see if it unkinks a nerve or anything along that line.
