[QUOTE="A.J., post: 1161122, member: 13664"] Sorry to hear that. I'm with tom. Sounds like you may need to try to tube her. If you have an auto parts store close by, you might get a piece of rubber hose. It's not ideal, but I've done it in a pinch before and it worked. Just make sure to put some petroleum jelly or something similar to lubricate it and take your time inserting it. Does she seem to be having any issues breathing? I would monitor that and make sure she doesn't get pneumonia from the stress of being shipped and her immune system being weak. Do you have any meds on hand? If you don't, I would contact a vet and see about getting some for her. The sooner the better. Little ones can go down hill so fast. [/QUOTE]
