Thank you, I will try the baking soda as well as drizzling some molasses
on
the hay. Something has to get that rumen going.
Ivy continues to feel crummy. This morning, she was constipated. I
called the vet who in turn told me to give her some mineral oil. I
haven't
force-fed her since last Thurs. but have decided to start again with the
grain/probiotics/electrolytes and now mineral oil all mixed together. I
saw her
drink quite a bit of water today on her own so I don't know that I will
continue with the electrolytes tomorrow. I see her shivering at night.
Our
temps are now down in the 40's @ night so I put a jacket (formerly used
by
our St. Bernard) on her. I'm sure she's cold because of the weight loss.
She is dreadfully thin. Sometimes I feel she is just starving to death.
Thanks for the suggestions.
