Penguin seems sick

[casportpony]

If she were mine I would tube lots of fluids. How much does she weigh?

She weighs 4.5 lbs. How much do you mean by lots of fluids? I have pedialyte but no idea how much to give. She is just barely hanging in there.

I just gave her another 5ml of pedialyte, please if you can let me know how much and how often I should be giving it to her @casportpony

Have you weighed her? She should get 10-14 ml per pound of body weight. Wait 60-90 minutes and repeat.

Okay yeah thank you she is 4.5 lbs now so I suppose I will just give her 45ml and see how it goes

Make sure it's warm (~103 degrees).

Okay @casportpony when I give her a significant amount of the pedialyte I can hear her gurgling afterwards is this normal?? It sounds kind of scary and is making me concerned.

Gurgling in her throat or further down?

Can you take a picture of what you are using to tube the fluids in her with?
