Help Support CattleToday:
Have you ever run a small, yet long, piece hose down a calf's throat? It's got to reach all the way into his gut. That should relieve the pressure.
Also, I'ver read here that a full bottle of tums can do the trick.
Or, you might call the vet or someone that you know that has worked with cattle/calves to come run a tube down it's throat.
Whatever you decide, make it quick.

You might try about 30 cc of mineral oil. Pepto Bismol or Kaopectate will also help out a tummy problem. Could possibly be an ulcer, and if it has perforated, you are out of luck. You might want to talk to your vet.
