Tube fed kid - vet stopped by UPDATE

Posted by Max on April 04, 2002 at 04:48:00:

Hi all. The little guy is still hanging in. My vet stopped by yesterday to give the GoatDogs their shots. I showed him the kid. He showed me how to tube him thru the nose, since his throat is sore from over 2 weeks of the tube. It's really much easier thru the nose, the little guy can't bite the tube or loop it around with his tongue. The vet feels now it's more a problem of sour stomach than a pneumonia. His little belly is so round and distended - says his rumen isn't developed enough to The vet is going to send a med for this , some gastro med to help him empty his stomach. In the meantime I would love to be able to do something, but the vet didn't know what might work other than the med.I thought BloatPac, but he didn't think so. Any ideas from you experts? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!
