[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 381401, member: 852"] No vet should suggest those kind of things to a newbie. (No offense intended, Suzz.) He would have been better off to tell you to get a pair of O.B. chains and a calf puller, which, btw, the chains would be a good idea to have on hand just in case. Don't go sticking your hand inside if you don't have to - you risk introducing bacteria to the reproductive tract which can easily lead to a uterine infection after calving. Might have been Dopram... off hand I believe it's a stimulant for calves that aren't breathing when they hit the ground. Runs like $80 for 20mL, but I think you only need 2mL per calf. I've never used the stuff, though there have been a time or two I wished I had it. I believe it needs to go IV. [/QUOTE]
