    I assume you noticed it through milk leaking when she's lying? Either way it's probably just from capillaries bursting in the tissue of the quarter. Keep an eye for heat or swelling in both quarters but issue should rectify itself.

    Cheers for that, ya taught i noticed tinge of blood on inside of her lower leg, shes quite enough that she wud stand for me to check.
    Pure dark red blood in them so i will be keeping an eye.

    What was the name of the stomach tube yolk that someone had here but if was attached to a bottle instead of a bag? Would seem much easier to use to feed a calf.

    That trusti tuber looks a great job, definitely less stress on the calf than using the hard plastic of a regular stomach tube.

    That's the one the Trusi Tuber find it a great job,and theres an adjustment on it depending on the weight of the calf

    Without sounding stupid, how do you ensure the tube goes down the oesophagus and not down into the lungs?

    If you put the end of the tube to your ear you'll hear the breathing if it's in the lung. at least thats what i do
    the one i used was easier to put into the lung

    If it's down correctly you should be able to feel the tube down along the oesophagus, you won't be able to feel it in the windpipe.

    That's what I always do.

    For the sake of a few seconds, it's better than a drowned calf.

    Youl feel it if down correctly, especially when your sliding it down. I find milk will flow fast if it's in right too. I normally go down on the left side of the calf mouth above the tongue, normally easier to slide down if correct too

    Diificult enough to feel it in a big calf
    The first few mls will kill them ...... too late then.

    Never had a bother here, hand down the left side of the neck and give the tube a wiggle and you'll feel the head of it if it's down right. I rather the collapsible bag types, think the rigid ones with the big solid head on them are a bit severe on a calf.

    calf.[/QUOTE]u ur prob right about the rigid on being more severe but its safer I think as it starts the tube off on the right path so less likely to end up in the lungs

    I never had a bother either apart from once, was sure it was in right yet heard the lungs I even listen to the lambs now and it never misses the stomach for some reason
