[QUOTE="angie2, post: 480384, member: 7409"] Tums surely can be given, you have to give a lot. I give baking soda in water if I can't get bloat medicine, I mix according to directions on the side (plus a little extra). Bloat med is best but might be hard to get with Christmas and all. Our vets will give us a call if they get called into the office for any reason, and leave the meds outside for us to pick up. If someone near you raises calves, they may have some on hand. We and our neighbors are always bumping off each other. If you do the hose down the belly, hold your nose, the air that comes out is toxic! Do that only if you absolutly have to. I lost a goat kid to bloat once because I waited too long. Alice is right ~ don't hesitate to do what you need to do. [/QUOTE]
