Veterinary Clinic: Calf-friendly version of Aggers Pump worth investigating

I came across a common scenario last week. Tommy had a day old calf that wouldn’t drink. He was panting a lot and had a raised temperature, though not very high.

On questioning him, Tommy told me that he had tubed his calf the night before with beastings, even though he was not very confident doing so.

Unfortunately, from my examination, I could tell that some of the beastings had gone the wrong way, and ended up in the lungs.
