[QUOTE="Byrdy, post: 591853, member: 8905"] Milkmaid - The way you described "talking about down, non-responsive, won't move, time to get out the chains and the tractor to haul them off" is exactly how I would describe the way he was when I found him! I was in complete shock! How can I get the sodium bicarb into him with out tubing him? Could I mix it in with his bucket of water or squit it down his throat with a huge syringe? I suppose I could make it a real thick paste and dip the grass I'm hand feeding him in it? The animals that you found as described above made it through without any brain issues? Baxter78 - I don't think his body is shutting down (at least I hope not). He has improved since Monday when the vet was here, his drooling is not as bad, he is drinking (in fact he is obsessed with his water which is wierd, dunks his whole head to his eyes in it :???: ) , and he'll eat when I put the grass in his mouth. I just wanted to get a feel on how long this is going to last from someone with experience in this sort of crisis. Any help is wonderful, thanks! [/QUOTE]
