Jesus I'd say thats a job for the vet. Is there much of it down there?.

presume it's breathing fine?
or hold calf upside down and bounce it a little!?

I think the stiff part pulled out of the flexible hose so about 2 feet.

he's breathing fine but i guess he will starve if it can't be removed.

Try the bouncing.
Then call the vet. Call out will be no more now than in an hour!

Had one last back end do this,pipe had gone brittle and it snapped off.

Calf was on deaths door when we bagged it and it never made it.

Had one last year do the same thing! A big long narrow AGH son! He had a bad pain and tried to vent him off with the tube! Anyways he split it and swallowed it. Tried pulling it out but to no avail. Rang the vet and he agreed for the risks involved and value of the calf it wasn't worth operating! Same calf powered along and was one of the best of all at sale during this spring! I'd leave well enough alone !

my da called in with the vet and said the operation would be 100euro, but the calf could survive anyway. given that the calf is sickly he decided to take his chances.

How did this end

he died a few days later, but since he was already scoury he may have died anyway.

I use one of these now:

cost around £45 but must have spent many times that on bags that fail after you've used them once or twice.
