Weak Pygmy

Virginia.

Should I go ahead and treat him for Coccidia too....just in case?

Yes, I would go ahead and treat for coccidia as a just in case situation since you can't take in a sample.

On the vitamin b...I've used crushed up human tablets mixed with yogurt and given orally in a pinch.

Oh, good idea! I have done that w/ iron pills. Thanks for the help. I will see what I can find tomorrow.

And some calcium too.

Get the Red Cell in him tonight though...he really needs that since he's so anemic. The anemia can kill him too.

Ok. Got red cell in him. Picked up Corid. I am feeding him and took up his water so that when I put his water down he will drink a good amount. I have loose minerals in his pen so he can get some when he wants. I plan on giving him some crushed B & iron in some yogurt in a little while. I don't want to overwhelm his system all at once. He still seems pretty weak but is in good spirits.

The Red Cell and Vitamin B should boost his energy.
And the CoRid should make a difference within 24 hours if it's coccidia.
I usually dump a bottle of pedialyte in their drinking water at times like this too.

Keep us updated on him

Great news! He is starting to form some pellets. They are coming out in a mass but there is some pellet formation.
