[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1543427, member: 16453"] He may have been a bit dehydrated from whatever was ailing him. Unusual for a 5mth old calf to be constipated but things like baling twine could cause an obstruction. Mineral oil like parafin given orally can help getting things to move, just make sure they are swallowing it if you drench it as it has no taste and can run into the lungs. As far as dose goes we would pump 1 gallon into horses with colic so 1 pint would be OK in that size calf but you will be limited to what you get to him to swallow. An enema of parafin or coloxyl will be usefull, coloxyl in particular or soapy water (washing up detergent) as a pint or two run in with a tube and as well you get to feel what is there that might be a bit hard. Best of luck with him and welcome, hope you stick around for a bit. Ken [/QUOTE]
