Buff Dewlap Toulouse Thread

[Miss Lydia]

Here is a pic of Samantha after hatch last June. I was thinking about the buffs as babies, and then found this pic instead. (and it changes the giant pic in the Recent Images from this Thread, which I wanted to do.)

How precious

Help.

Just went out for evening chores and found one of my buff dewlaps in a bad way. It was good at 3 pm, and now 2.45 hrs later appears to be at deaths door.

Found it in the big pond, in the mucky shallow end, listless. DH and I fished him out, and washed him off. Brought him to the fresh little pool. His legs are sticking out behind him. He keeps making a soft "onk" and sounds very much like he's got breathing issues. When I feel his neck, all feels normal, but he gets upset when I'm at place where head meets neck. He keeps moving head up and down, and stretching out and back. Can't get him to open bill for a look-see.

What do I do? He's got fresh water (in fact, he forcefully threw himself in it, and seems intent on being there. Is weak, makes breathing noises, Too weak too walk.

I just put him in the barn, by himself with some food and water. Poor thing! Still seems to be having breathing issues. Its like 55 degrees here today, not freezing at all.
