    I also used Dalophylline gel as a respiratory stimulant put under the calf's tongue after a calving especially after a difficult calving. My vet told me recently that its gone off the market but also said that there's no alternative on the market.

    What products did you get form your vets to stimulate the calf to breathe especially after a difficult calving?

    Thanks

    Freecardyl. A good cardio-vascular analeptic.
