[QUOTE="Dee, post: 53190, member: 350"] what are you confused about? Basics.... electrolytes or milk replacer should be warm, don't allow any fluid to run into the calf 'till the tube is in place in the stomach. You can feel the tube on the calf's left side going in if you put your hand on the side of his throat. After the tube is in his stomach, then tip or unclamp the tube. Go slowly with the fluids. After all the fluid is out of the tube give it a few extra seconds to make sure there is no fluid in the end of the tube and then clamp it shut or tip it down and pull it out. Make sure the calf is standing or in as much of an upright position as possible. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
