[QUOTE="Workinonit Farm, post: 1280836, member: 839"] Tubing would be the best route. But....If I'm not mistaken, you are fairly new with all of this?? If so, you may not know how to tube. If that is the case, seeing how it is only an ounce, you can give it a go using a turkey baster. It has worked well for me in the past, as well as other people. Think of it as a giant eye-dropper. Once you get the dose in the baster/dropper, shove the baster into the calf's mouth and strt towards the throat/back of the mouth so it has no choice but to swallow. Give the bulb a squeeze and squirt the stuff in. If you are concerned that it is too liquidy, mix the Corid with a little bit of vanilla yogurt. The calf may resist this. If so, back it into a corner or a shed or fenced area so that its butt is up against a solid object, preferably a corner so there is no escape. Straddle the little sucker between your knees in front of its shoulders and grab ahold of its chin, and take it from there. [/QUOTE]
