Well, we made it to work. Took 2.5 hrs to drive 33 miles. I put Toe Man in a crate for the night with a bowl of pedilyte for him to hopefully drink on.

Goats milk....... I have two can's at home. I will give him some in the morning and try to get ahold of the ER vet if I can find one open. I should be able to..

I am worried sick that when I get him he will have passed.

He does not appear to be in any pain at all. He is just weak and and very still.


will send more info in the am when I get home. I get off in three hrs and it might take a bit to get home.

Jenn

Maybe something is blocking his digestive tract, like a clump of hair...

I sure hope he gets better soon. Tell us what the vet says.

I also forgot to add earlier that when I gave him his pedilyte before I came to work, he threw it up about 10 minutes later. It was filled with yellow bile. No substance at all.

I am still worried that he might not have made it through the night....... After I leave here at 8am, it will be several hrs before I update. It's a slow drive home and husband leaves for Ga today...

Oh baby, my prayers are with you. I hope everything will work out. Our babies always seem to get sick at times when it's practically impossible to get them to a vet. I hope he's ok.

Poor Toe-Man...my heart is going out to you today, I was worried about him last night as well.

I'm still hoping you can find a way to get him seen!!!

I am so sorry to hear that Jenn, just keep trying to do what you are doing. Try to get the emergency vet or something. Please keep us posted here.

Sending some prayers and hugs from Mississippi your way.

Well, I called the 24 hr facility in springfield and talked to some bimbo..... We had a shouting match on the phone.

So I called carmichael vet hospital in billings missouri and paged the doc. The message said he should call me back within 15 mintues. If he can see toe today, I am not waiting till tomorrow.

I dont' care about losing sleep.....toe needs help or he will not make it. I'll

Ok...... The vet from Carmichael called me back and I am leaving for the vet in an hr. The vet said the roads are bad and hopefully some will have melted by then. He said it will take me at least an hr to get there.

He is going to hospitalize toe..... and we will go from there. That's all I know.

Toe is wrapped on the couch with his eyes closed. He can lift his head and that is all.

The vet is hoping he can save him. He had no idea what is causing it until he runs tests.

Please pray for Tor Man....

Please know Jenn that there are people here who are thinking and praying for you and Toe-Man.

I am so sorry that you are having to do this all by yourself.

Take a minute and just know that I am here and thinking of you. Please relax a little, I know that you are scared, but you need to calm down so you will be able to drive.

Let us know what is happening.

Oh Jenn, I'm so sorry to hear that Toe Man is worse.
I know how upsetting it is when one of our babies is sick, but please try to calm down...I know that's easier said than done...but you have a drive ahead of you on bad roads.

I'll be sending lots of prayers for you and for sweet Toe Man
