Get her onto a blanket or tarp.
Get at least two people or more and lift her into it.
Hopefully she will not struggle

The vet determined that she has a few things going on right now.

Firstly, she hasn't been eating her minerals so she was low on that. She was dehydrated, and the little nutrition she was getting, her lambs were eating it up.
She's home now hooked on an IV in the barn. If she survives she should go back to normal.

I'm so glad you got her there and home safely. An IV sounds like just the thing to fix her up! Hopefully you'll see an improvement by morning. Do you know what the vet put in the IV?

How did you get her to the truck?

I hope she makes it! I also realized that magnesium is easy to get too low on and that epsom salts are good to have on hand for that too. (It's the M in the CMPK injection or oral supplement)

I don't remember what the exact name is, but i know it's electrolytes and something to keep her hydrated? sorry i wish i could tell you more!

As to how we got her to the truck, We cut a piece of plywood and attached a rope. making a makeshift sled. We put a blanket on the sled and were able to roll her onto it. and then we pulled her to the truck, and lifted the whole board into the back
