Baby almost hanged himself! It's OK he's good!

Oh dear...we just got home and heard a scream...it was one of our little boys from Oct...he got himself hung up in a wire between the fence posts (hard to explain, it's a figure 8 between two posts). Anyway, I ran and held the wires apart but couldn't get him out, Hubby came running when I screamed, I though he was going to die right then...Hubby got him out and he was still breathing, but kind of flopping his head around. I brought him in and have been holding him, he's shocky I think, but he's breathing, but, they (he and hubby) are on the couch, he's kind of resting, but I'd be happier if he was perkier.

What should I do? Give him some Nutra-drench? Should I just keep him warm and still? :help:

 

Re: EMERGENCY! PLEASE HELP! Baby almost hanged himself!

He's laying quietly on Hubby, he's panting a little, but, he's breathing through his nose, not his mouth. He'll sit up if you "pester" him a little, but then he lays his head back down.

 

Re: EMERGENCY! PLEASE HELP! Baby almost hanged himself!

No, he's not cut at all. I gave him some Nutra drench, he perked up a little, Hubby said he's acting like he doesn't want to hold his head up, but he can.

 

Re: EMERGENCY! PLEASE HELP! Baby almost hanged himself!

He's resting now in a crate, he's holding his head up, when I got to him I checked to see if his mouth was warm, it was very cool, now he's warmed up. I'll get his temp. Doesn't seem to have any edema, yet any way. Seems perkier since the nutra-drench.

Oh, I fixed the problem...I'll do a better job tomorrow...but this will get us by for tonight. They never learn, do they?

Thank you all for being there! I think we'll be ok tonight, I'll check back in later.

OK, thanks toth, I didn't think about Banamine...I'll give him some of that.

Well, I didn't hear him all night and then this morning (he was downstairs in the kitchen) so I feared the worst as I came downstairs. But, he was up and perky, ready to get back with his buddies! :clap:

Thank you all for your help and support last night. :grouphug:

Thanks, but, Hubby just called, puts the goat thing in prospective...one of the guys he works with (he is in the reception area...6'2" big guy), went out last night to get chicken, 2 guys jumped him...put a gun to his throat...wanted money and cell phone...he gave it up...and they shot him anyway...he's in the hospital fighting for his life...I think he's stable now. What a waste, really nice guy, hard working. ray:
