OTC Dex substitute?

[angus9259]

Got a calf I'm trying to get/keep going. Seem to have run out of banamine and dex and it's a holiday weekend!! Are there any over the counter human meds I could get that might be a similar stimulant?

Try aspirin .

A long time ago, when I was still going to the auctions to buy calves, I sat in front of some old gentlemen who were talking about jump starting calves. One said coffee...the other said 7-up or sprite or mountain dew...with aspirin.

I never tried any of that, probably because I forgot about it until just now when HD said something about using aspirin. And, give the calf some electrolytes and probios just because...
