[QUOTE="jillaroo, post: 825008, member: 9683"] I totally agree with this. Hanging a calf upside down causes all the organs in the abdomen to press up against the lungs, making it harder for a calf to breathe. The fluids that you do see coming out are likely from the stomach. Hanging them upside down is an older school of thought that has been proven to be detrimental to the calf. We are not able to get Dopram, so I've been using Respiram. It's expensive, but worth it's weight in gold. If you were going to take the calves to the vet for necropsy, take the placenta(s) with you if possible. Often, they tell the tale better than the calf. Good luck with the rest of your cows. [/QUOTE]
