[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 617017, member: 852"] Vt - I haven't done the tail vein yet. For everything I've had to do so far the juglar has worked fine. I'm sure the tail would be better though if I were pulling blood on large numbers of animals. Speaking of the tail vein, I've heard of folks using the tail vein for IV on a cow with milk fever. Double R - What would you like to know? I put the calf flat on the ground, shave the area, apply alcohol, insert needle. If they're severely dehydrated you can open up the IV line and put 1,000mLs in as quickly as it will go, then follow with another 1,000mLs done slower. Sometimes you can add vitamin B and/or 10mLs of dextrose to the IV solution as well. [/QUOTE]
