Poorly kit

[Hunting boys 7]

Need help, one of the kits i have is nearly 8 weeks and is very lame, the other 9 keep trampelling on it and it can barely keep its head up or walk and seems as though it just wants to sleep and struggles to eat also, any advice would be much appreciated

 

Thanks lads H/b

vets or dispatch the animal , clearly only you can judge which route to take

It certainly needs a descision made for it. You could always take it to a vet get the advice/prognosis and make the descision from there, if it's a simple problem, great news. If it's in pain with a limp it mightn't feel much like eating and if it doesn't eat it's unlikey to last much longer.

 

Would be a shame to cull it if some painkillers, rest and some short-term syringe feeding would bring it round. Good luck with what you decide. Atb.

Have you separated it from the rest and tried to feed it ?.

Is it 'swimming' rather than walking?

TAKE IT TO THE VET ASAP.
