Oxygen is MAGIC!
This story from Shreve's
Daily Coyote. I've linked the photo from her site. Do go read the story there.
"
He saw the dire state she was in and then we both watched, transfixed, as the calf started coming to life before our very eyes. I held the non-rebreather mask over her little nose and she seemed to drink in the oxygen ~ her eyes opened and stayed open and her breathing began to slow and deepen until it was just half the rate it had been (and the rate it should be). She started moving her legs. If I pulled the mask away she would lift her head to follow it. Amazing!
After fifteen minutes, she was trying to stand up on her own. The oxygen had done good work. We lifted her to her feet and she stood, wobbly but strong, and took a few steps. It was time to take her to her mother for another boost of life force ~ mother's milk."
