[QUOTE="ENNOT, post: 326890, member: 3562"] Like Susie said, but try to let the calf swallow the tube as it goes down, that way is less likely you will get it in the lungs. If the calf coughs or burps, etc, you are in the lungs. Pull up and start over. When in the "stomach" let the liquids flow and don't stop until its gone. 1 to 2 quarts at a time. Another method if the calf wont suck on a bottle: Get a 1 liter pop bottle. Put the cap on it so some liquid comes out. Place in the corner of the mouth and see if the calf will suck. If it won't, you can squeeze a little liquid and get the calf to swallow whats in the mouth. This has saved calves for us when the tube wasn't available. [/QUOTE]
