I have the little guy in a brooder in a fuzzy cap with a heat lamp, making little gains but I need advice...Doesn't seem like his legs are working right although he is able to lift head now...So sad for him, what a trajedy and my kids are devestated...I did give him the electrolyte water, offering it hourly, and I am glad to see him sleeping...

Update...I had Peanut looked at by a vet who said he is doing remarkably well for the situation...She said he looks like he will survive, is in no pain and can probably figure out walking, we think there is nerve damage in one set of toes, no grip. She also said it can repair itself and if it will 4 weeks is the time to see! So we are doing PT and keeping our fingers crossed! He really wants to stand just can't balance it yet, if I give him a tiny balance he can do it pretty well...wish him luck, hopefully her lol!
