[QUOTE="Byrdy, post: 591962, member: 8905"] Okay I found size 000 which I'm told is the largest gel cap made. I've filled them with sodium bicarb and now I'm going to attempt to put 20 of them down his throat. Should be interesting! The way I've measured it out is that 10 capsules hold 1 ounce, so that is 20 capsules twice a day. Do you think I should continue feeding him by hand (I can get about a 1/4 of a flake down him a day) or just let his stomach adjust to the bicarb and maybe he'll start to eat on his own when he feels better? Anyone know how long a calf can go without food? Thanks for the help [/QUOTE]
