I have a 3 year old whether who has Listeriosis. I went out for feeding yesterday and he was laying on his side in the field unable to stand with leg tremors and other neurological signs. He showed no signs before this. I immediately called the emergency vet and they came out and gave him antibiotics, a steroid shot, and Thiamine. He made it though the night and he does try to get up but he can't lift his head so he is still laying on his side. He will eat a little if I offer it from my hand but I haven't been able to get him to drink. I am concerned about dehydration. Is there anything i can do to get fluid in? I know the outlook isn't good but I want to give him a chance.
