I write this in hoping many of you have a place to turn when this hits---it is fast, devastating and very hard to stop. Today, I started mylocon drops to ease gas---this does seem to work.

They are eating hay, raspberry and tonight went to the feeder and began eating. This will be a lesson in how a young litter can respond. I will weigh them tomm and track progress for all our benefit. None that survice will be saved for breeding due to their poor poor<br /><br />__________ Tue Jun 15, 2010 8:55 pm __________<br /><br />their poor start.
