[QUOTE="LGodlove, post: 467289, member: 7367"] Yesterday morning I tubed him with 2 quarts of milk and gave him yogurt at dinnertime and then some bounce back. I let him out for exercise in the afternoon while the sun was out and he walked around some. I decided not to tube him with the 2 quarts in the evening because his belly was large and I could hear the liquids in him, so I thought he didn't process what I had given him that day, and should wait until morning. This morning I had to get him up. He fell twice and when I got him back up, he tried to suck. He wasn't too successful, so I tubed him with 2 quarts of milk with about 6 oz. of yogurt intermixed. He walked around some afterwards and I shoved three tablespoons of grain in his mouth and about four handfuls of hay. I got to get his gut working. I also took my feeding syringe and gave him an ounce of PowerPunch from TSC, which contains a good vitamin complex and yogurt cultures as well. I want to try to get more of the PowerPunch in him at noon and a half of bottle of electrolytes. I also will give him his last shot of banamine. (I gave him one shot of 5mL of Nuflor from vet on Tuesday at noon, and haven't decided whether I should give him another one or not.) A side effect of the Nuflor is diarreah, which he has, but he is still urinating well and doesn't appear dehydrated. He's extemely weak, but I plan on getting him up then and putting him outside to play, so I can give his crate a good cleaning. I half a-- cleaned it this morning. I'll put down new wood shavings and hay for him. The least I can do is keep him comfortable. I don't know what the outcome is going to be, but we are still both fighting! [/QUOTE]
