Has he been banded? If so, was he vaccinated for tetanus at that time?

Unhappy
Alright Everybody, Thank you so much for all your advice and help, I really needed it.
I am sorry to say that he died early this morning...I'm still not sure what was wrong with him, but I'm glad he is at peace now and whatever pain he was in is gone. I checked him before I went to bed on the couch so I could check him in the middle of the night, but at four o'clock AM he was dead...

Anyway, thank you all again for your advice and help,

You all are such gems for replying to my post,

-Rebecca

Sometimes baby things die. It's just a fact of being this close to the way the real world works. I've been thru this 3 times in the last month. Twice I found out later that the ailment was "Floppy Kid ... something" (the abdomen is 'sloshy' and distended). I warmed the kids, tried all the usual, but...
Anyway, it makes the healthy ones more precious to me.
Hang in there!

I'm so sorry.... He was a cutie. And so young.

Are you sure he couldnt have ahd tetanus or something that causes muscle spasms or contractions or whatever? His muscles looked really tight, they way his legs were sticking out and his head drawn back... hmmmmm

It happens, I guess. (((hugs)))
