I have 3 flemish giant babies, 4 months old. yesterday I lost one and he was bloated/swollen almost double his size. I checked the other 2 and they were starting to get swollen bellys also. I have been treating them with the infant gas drops 4 times a day 7.5 cc and mixing 1/2 water 1/2 pedialite and pushing that. One is doing better than the other and less swollen and will still drink the mixture from the bowl. and I have given him dandolion leaves and parsley to which he is chowing down. The ohter one is totally opposite and I'm having to give him the liquids by syrynge and he does not want any greens or food at all. I did manage to get him to eat a few stems of the parsley last night but that is it. I put him on a heating pad and rubbed his belly last night and he seemed to like that. He is still swollen this morning and seems more larthargic. I am very worried about him and not sure he will pull through. I am going to get some terramycin this afternoon and going to try that also.
Is there anything else i should be doing or trying? From what I have read on the internet it sounds like the bad bacteria in the stomach is attacking the good bacteria and causing them to bloat up with gas.......
I've heard this is going around and many people are losing babies, is this true, is this a virus that seems to be going around?
Please respond with any additional information or anything else i could try, I don't want to lose these beautiful babies.....
