[Delivery-induced fracture of the spine in a newborn calf]
Tierarztliche Praxis
|January 1, 1986
The case of a 3 days old calf taken to the local animal hospital with a complete fracture of the vertebral column at the transitory point between thoracic and lumbar spine is reported. The fracture could be attributed to the wrong use of a mechanical fetal extractor, which is a common mistake when using it for forced extraction.
