Great banamine chart!
I have seen only one roundworm pass so far. Dk olive green cast to droppings and a few have texture as if she ate hay. She is pooping.
I know how to give SQ and IM injections. I would love to know how to give fluids SQ. I have hand fed swallows with an eye dropper but that's it.
Do you think I should administer safeguard even though she's weak? Should I get some Red Cell for anemia?

I prepare my heart for the worst. I have Acepromazine. What would be the dosage IM?
Again, thank you for your guidance Kathy. It means a lot to me.

I don't think you should give any meds until you get her warm and hydrated. Can she hold her head up?

If she were mine I would have her in a warm room or cage and once she was properly warm I would tube warmed Pedialyte at 15ml per pound then again in 60-90 minutes if her crop had cleared. Hopefully that will perk her up.

Ok. She can for short periods. With stimulation she has no problem. When resting her head drops. There is some tail twitching as if trying to poop but no poop.

Do you have her in a room or cage that's 80-85 degrees?

Makes sense. I have A Lyte solution. Is that ok?

What is "A Lyte Solution"? You should also read this:

If you can't find a vet to sell you a size 18 french rubber tube you can use aquarium air line instead, but you will need to melt the end of it with a lighter to smooth the edge.

I looked up the solution you have, and I think it would be fine, but only if you can figure out how to dose it correctly. I use Pedialyte or sometimes Gatorade.
