Piedmontese calf approximately 70 days old. For the past few days, the calf has shown slight bowing of the forelimbs, synovial swelling at the carpal and tarsal joints, reluctance to rise and move, and a stiff, short-strided gait. The sudden onset, the characteristics of the lesions, and the absence of fever or prior pathologies or treatments suggest a hyperergic allergic inflammatory process of toxic origin affecting the joints and tendon sheaths. The triggering agent has not been identified, but gastrointestinal toxins are suspected.
