Practitioners might consider a force pump (an ‘Agger’s pump’ is recommended) to be too expensive to be supplied to all ambulatory veterinary surgeons. Indeed large volumes of liquid can be administered to cows with a funnel, but this very time-consuming and does not look very professional. In these days, when farmers are charged by the minute, the author considers that most of them will not be impressed with such old-fashioned methods of treatment. The other items listed are essential and very inexpensive:

• force pump for administering large volumes of fluid to cows (e.g. an Agger’s pump)

• calf rehydration bag

• non-disposable 30 ml syringes

• hypodermic needles (Luer fitting)

• disposable syringes (Luer mount)

• spinal needles 15 cm

• 25 cm Seaton needle with uterine tape

• 6 inch curved cutting edged suturing needle
