Sinead isn't herself still

How long does it take for the toxemia to pass? Is it just residual not feeling well from that? SHe's been through a lot.

 

How is she drinking? I read somewhere flushing the toxins out of the body is important. Also, could she be depressed or are your instincts or what your seeing telling you what you said here?

 

Hmmm? Maybe more time to process everything, so she feels like eating again?

 

I would give her a VIT B12 shot. That should help her. Also yogurt if she will eat it or probias

 

Did you also worm her ? Take a temp to see where she is at. Praying she will be ok.

 

I am sorry to hear that she isn't feeling well yet. My friend had a nigerian get sick just recently. She wasn't due until March, however they felt that she too had toxemia. She had a C-Section on Sunday, delivered 3 dead kids. My friend just texted me that they just lost her too.

As a newbie, is there any signs of toxemia before it gets to the point where it is dangerous? Kinda like "bed rest" for humans? Are more breeds predisposed to it then others? The reason I ask, is because we have two Nubians that are due in March. This will be our first kidding, so we are a bit scared now.

Again, I'm sorry about Sinead, and hope she pulls out of it. Any advise or signs you can give would be a great reference for my 4H kids so that they know what to watch for.

 

Ashley...I am so very sorry, my thoughts and prayers are with you and Sinead. I hope she comes around and gets back on track.

 

Ashley, I am so sorry she is not doing any better. What about hot molasses water? How about the Coffee, Whiskey and Karo Syrup mix? DO you have a heat lamp you can put on her?

I will be praying for her.

 

Sorry to here Sinead is still not feeling well, I hope she feels better soon.

Could she have a touch of bloat, were you said she ate quite a bit of hay, if she wasn't eating to much before, maybe it was to much at once. Is she pooping ok?

B12 liquid can be gotten at the drug store, I would give that with the b complex. you can give that orally too. If you have done all this and still feel there is something wrong I would take her in for blood work. It may still be her sugar levels and she may in fact need to be checked on a regular basis. Just a thought.

 

Could it be her sugar is too high? Or going up and crashing. I know when my sugar is wacky I can eat like a horse but it comes down SO fast.

 

Have you given her any CMPK? It will give her whole sysem a boost. I would give her one hundred cc's an hour for three hours and see what happens.

 

How is your girl this am?
