Can this affect the calf inside?

Yes, it can affect the calf if the mother is not eating well or if the swelling is from a serious problem like low protein, heart strain, or pressure on breathing. First keep her calm, give soft fodder and clean water, and watch if the swelling is only under the chest or if she is also breathing fast, coughing, or getting weak. If the swelling is hard, growing fast, or she is not eating properly for more than one day, she needs a vet check today because pregnancy at eight months can worsen quickly. The calf can suffer from poor nutrition and low oxygen if the mother’s condition slips. Treating this now is far cheaper than losing milk and risking the pregnancy. If she becomes dull, stops chewing cud, or breathing gets heavy, book a Pashu Vet on Pashushala today.
