Peroneal nerve paralysis in a heifer.
Peroneal nerve paralysis in a heifer developed during an 11-day period of recumbency following dystocia. The condition did not improve during the next 42 days and the heifer was slaughtered. On the basis of microscopic findings, it was concluded that 3 to 4 months would have been required to reestablish normal limb function.
