I have a first calf heifer that had a calf hanging out the head, and one foot, the other foot was caught inside, and the tongue was swelled and blue-Not good!
The Vet came out, and he had to fenagle the other leg, to get it straightened, and then pull the calf out. When he was doing it, I thought I saw its eyelid twitch, but just figured it was a reflex.
He got the calf out, and beleive it or not, it was still alive, swelled up tongue and all. It immediately started moving around, when I cleaned its mouth out, and then the Mom, came by and started licking it off. I told the Vet, it was a miracle, I for sure thought the calf was dead. He had his son with him, and I told him, can U believe that, and he was even kind of blown away.
