That you! I will see if I have tubing, She si being moved indoors, and we will work on it. I will fight of her, but she doesn't seem like she is fighting anymore, she is laying on her side, not standing, not holding her head up, and keeps closing her eyes. I think sh tis giving up. Thank you so much for this!

So sorry. If she is on her side and unable to stand I think she is probably dying. Get her inside *now*, place her in a warm room, possibly even on a heating pad set to low. DO NOT give fluids or food until she can hold her head up.

Can you put her in a warm room and weigh her?

I will weigh her now, sh tis super light! Thank you! I wish I had all the info earlier, I would have done this sooner!

I'm so sorry. Getting her warmed up may perk her up. At least try that much and see what happens.

This is what I was afraid of. She is just laying on her side by our fire now. She is breathing, but won't sit or stand. I don't have a lot of hope for her left.

I weighed her best I could. WE don't have an animal scale, so I stood on it, and then grabbed her and stood on a hum an scale. WE did this with 2 different people and I don't know how accurate our very old scale is, but it said with both people, she only weighed 2 pounds!

She is a Golden Comet, or golden sex-link or what ever. I have heard there supposed to be 4LBS?

That's way too light for a breed like that. I hate to say this, but she's lost over half her weight so I don't think she is going to survive.

I know! I don't think so either. I had a feeling this would happen. Argh! I wish that I could have started feeding her/all of this earlier! I wish I would have know before this started to happen.
