[QUOTE="larryshoat, post: 771994, member: 6773"] [color=#FF0000]I agree 100% with you and angus on the tube. I'll tube a calf a time or two, but after that I'll use a bottle with the nipple cut off and make them swallow their milk. I find the less I use a tube the less calves we have that won't drink on a long term basis. Sometimes a hand full of oatmeal in that milk can be a help.[/color] Wisteria, I copied and pasted the advice I gave you 6 days ago, I think it is consistant with what your vet said. One of the problems with the tube is that we never feed the perfect amount. At this point if you can get a pint at a time down her, you're just going to have to do that more often. Possibly try giving her some yogurt if you have it.[color=#FF0000] Try to prepare yourself for the worst, you do the best you can, but you don't always win.[/color] :heart: Larry [/QUOTE]
