    A 6-month-old Ongole calf presented with a complete open fracture of the left metatarsal bone. The bone fragment was exposed and infected, so an amputation was performed at the level of the hock. A calf also presented with post-operative complications after surgical correction of congenital contracted tendons, including partial disarticulation of the fetlock joint and exposed infected bone marrow. A trans-radial amputation of the right forelimb was performed to prevent the spread of infection and risk of sepsis. Both procedures involved sedation, epidural anesthesia, surgical closure, and bandaging of the wound.

    the level of Hock. Animal was sedated with xylazine, Hindlimbs were desensitized with cranial epidural anesthesia
    andlocal infiltration. Closure was SOP. Bulk bandaging was made to secure the surgical wound.
