[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 365513, member: 6198"] do you have the stuff to tube him? if you do gentlely insert the tub in his mouth kinda let him do the work with the tongue movement if he can if not do your best. Usually my husband inserts the tube (he puts the calf in the sitting postion and sits on top of him and raises his head to tube the calf) and i hold the bag and have my hand on the calf's throat. this way you can feel the end of the tube going in. If you can't it's in his lung. try again. When you are sure it is in his stomach open the bag slowly so only a little fluid goes in. A double check cause if it is in his lung he will cough.choke. Then when you are sure open it up and watch like the mmscamp said. go gentle and calmly. I hope your calf makes it. Talk to your vet. he/she might be able to teach you how. good luck [/QUOTE]
