There was a calf found in Virginia in April of 2013 with its tail and legs frostbitten due to the extreme cold temperatures. This calf was later brought to the vet to get all the treatment that it needed so it can live a normal life as a cow. Hero the calf was later brought into the Texas A&M for the school to treat it. Dr. Ashlee Watts made his legs really well rounded by rounding the tendons and bones and covering all of that up with a prosthetic leg. Hero was one lucky calf with all the advancements in the veterinarian world. Many other animals have been helped by this advancement with piglet with no hind legs getting a wheel chair for the back legs and a Siberian Husky with no legs and had to get four all new legs.
