[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 11021"] Get the calf in a sternal position if unable to stand. Feet and legs fold under calf, in laying down position, elevate and extend the neck, then pass tube, if you can blow air into tube, smell air that comes back, if it is sweet like breath you are in the lungs, gut odor will be sour, or have a gastric smell from digestive juices. When you identify the correct placement then fill feeding bag wil material to be administered, make sure you have a clamp to shut off fluid flow, do not over feed, watch the speed of the fluid flow through the tube, if it come back, stop and wait, then continue or stop all together, 2 quarts is really too much, better to give 1- 1.5 and repeat in 4-5 hours depending on the need of the calf. If calf is standing, pin between your legs, and elevate head and neck with a free hand, place tube and follow same as above. [email=kemilimo@tca.net]kemilimo@tca.net[/email] [/QUOTE]
