Heat exhaustion and bumblefoot

[1stflockMama]

Hi all,
Henelope our barneveldor is 11 months old. She had bumblefoot pretty bad, today when I went to get her ( was waiting on a delivery of everything we needed) she was lethargic, panting and pale. I scooped her up brought her inside gave her a cool bath for 30mins. She perked back up. We then fixed her foot and I set her up a recovery room. But she still hasn't drank or ate. Shes still lethargic and pale.
I have hydro hen water by her. And her feed, soldier larvae, strawberries, scrambled eggs with fresh oregano, some leafy greens, half a corn on the cob and frozen watermelon rinds.
Please tell me its normal not to drink or eat right away?

No Im afraid I would do it wrong and she would aspirate. I did put a camera in and I'll probably sleep with her tonight

I am sorry your girl is struggling. Heat exhaustion doesn't go away in a couple hours, it can actually take days to fully recover from. I would keep her inside and cool until evening or even tomorrow morning. Once they get heat stroke, they are prone to get it again for the rest of their days.

Keep trying to offer her cool wet foods. You might drizzle some of the hydro hen into her mouth, tiny bit only at a time so she doesn't aspirate. Hold her head level, not back, and with an empty syringe, slowly squeeze 1ml of liquid into the front of her mouth. A few of these every 1/2 hour should get her drinking on her own.
