Hypothermic lambs
Author: Kim

I am wondering if you could explain more on how to inject 20% warm glucose into the peritoneal cavity. What exactly is the 20% glucose and where is the peritoneal cavity. How do you inject it. This is for hypothermic lambs. I usually just give the lambs some nutri-drench and get it warmed up and also tube feed it colostrum.

Thanks
Kim

This is one of those things that can save a lot of lambs if done right.
It needs to be shown to you by a vet or some one that has done it before.
Glucose will give the lamb instant energy and bring the lamb out of shock.
