My three week old litter as of today is down to just the one baby who has been doing great up until this morning. Yesterday was one of the hottest days on record in our area and I found him this morning minimaly responsive and pretty much flat out. I brought him inside and have been dribbling little amounts of corn syrup and water in his mouth and now he is taking it readily.
My question is, what happened here? Heat stroke is usually pretty fatal from what I have seen but he is bouncing (slowly) back. He should still be nursing so I didn't think he would dehydrate but could that be it? I plan on putting him back with his doe at dusk for his usual feeding and hope she takes care of him.
