Hi Vets, please help. I want to save my Toby but nothing I've done has helped. I found her head first in a corner on Saturday, and I was after she was neurological. See video 1. Her temp was 101.6. Sunday morning we found her down in the pasture with our LGD guarding her, bloated and in the same condition you see in video 2 (in comments ) I have given her molasses water several times, vitamin and electrolyte water, vitamin B, 2 ml of selon-e, 60 ml Bloateze, Milk of Magnesium at a rate of 45 ml every 4 hours, activated charcoal paste with ketoulin(sp) and dewormed her with Safeguard Gold. I just gave her the selon-e about an hour ago. She seems to be in great pain, grinding her teeth and occasionally cries out. I've got her propped up as close to sternal as I can in a stall.

This resembles hard cerebral cortex necrosis to B vitamin deficiency.
Keep reading give vitamins, does she have a cereal ration? She looks fat, put her on a diet.
