Brimmer 220 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Knock the milk on the head, if slightly off it can nail the little buggers. A liquid parrafin dose may clear them of any stomach infections or bacteria. Quote Link to post
Coatesy900 0 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 These are the exact symptoms my hob had a few weeks ago. Still no idea what it was, at first i though he had broken his two back legs, but then he was moving them around and staggering about. After a couple of days, I went to take him to the vets, but when I looked in, he was walking around much more comfortably and seemed to be improving on his own. I cancelled the appointment and after about another week he was right as rain again. Hard to watch, but keep making sure she can drink and keep offering her food, as she may regain her appetite and not be able to get to the food. Good luck mate Quote Link to post
