Weak Twins ?

[Stocker Steve]

Got a chilled pair of 56 pounders last night. Tubed them and applied a heat lamp. That helped a lot but they still do not suck. Any suggestions other than continuing to tube?

Just my old standby for weak calves. BoSe and vitamin shot

I'd use a syringe and a short aquarium air tube and feed them that way.. I dont like tubing small calves like that. Feeding them with the syringe makes the swallow, tubing really damaged small calves throats. Sometimes it has to be done, but if they are alert and just wont nurse a bottle, i use the syringe...It takes longer, but break it up in several feedings, which is best for small babies anyway..
