Abstract: A 15-day-old female Jersey calf, weighing 15 kilograms, was presented to the outpatient unit of the Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital with the history of dog bite. Upon examination, hanging of the rostral mandible with instability at the diastema was observed. Radiographic assessment revealed bilateral oblique fractures caudal to incissors, which were stabilized using 20 G orthopaedic wire via interfragmentary wiring. The calf exhibited the ability to suckle from the first day postoperatively and recovered without any complications.
