Description: Home About Us Policies FAQ Contact Us Hook Doctor Calf Catcher Dual Tool Eartag Mouth Treat Cattle Control Livestock Product Description Quick, Easy & Economical - Colors May Vary The Hook Doctor is the first and only product of its kind! It was designed with the progressive cattleman in mind to safely and humanely control an animal's head by hooking the animal's cheek. Use the Hook Doctor for routine procedures like tagging, mouthing, administering boluses and catching or sorting calves. Hook 'em with the Hook Doctor! Easy on you...easy on your cattle. Hook Doctor Instructions The Hook Doctor is designed to assist in controlling an animal's head. As with other restraint devices (nose tongs, etc.) it is only needed when specific situations arise. It was designed primarily for the purpose of mouthing cows. Early feedback from cattlemen indicate that they are finding many other uses as well, which include: reading tattoos, reading bangs clips, changing tags on cows with horns and cows that throw their head a lot, administering boluses or tubes, and catching or sorting calves. Due to the length of the hook there is a significant amount of leverage so brute force is not needed. Hook Doctor - Mouthing Instructions: Simply slide the hook alongside the animal’s jaw and hook their lip where it hangs over the bottom jaw. Now, slide the hook in a little farther, keeping it between the cheek and the gums. The cow will naturally open her mouth and give to the pressure on her cheek. Hook Doctor - Helpful Hints If you are wanting to look at a cow’s teeth, they may be in view or you may need to push down lightly on her bottom lip. If multiple people are working around the cow’s head, the person with the hook will need to be on the opposite side of the cow’s head as the practice being performed (tagging, reading tattoos, etc.). For example, if you are tagging the right ear, the Hook Doctor will be in her left cheek. Now, apply slight pressure to her cheek and she will be distracted and should stand still (many cows will mouth the knob on the end of the hook). If you are giving boluses or trying to pass a tube down their throat, place the knob of the hook in the center of the cow’s mouth and apply slight pressure. This should cause her to open up wider and start a gag reflex, making it easier to get her to swallow pills or tubes. Hook Doctor - Calf Catching: The person catching will hold the Hook Doctor by the big end and position the open side of the small hook towards the calf's leg. Keep the small hook ahead of the leg and move it towards the leg until it touches between the hock and pastern. Then, simply let the calf pull his leg forward into the hook Now, maintain pressure so the calf doesn't kick out. Payment We accept PayPal as payment.
