She doesn't look to good, although she is breathing, and her legs withdrawel into her she when you touch them. I let her sit in water today, she did not drink, but I think the water was a help. Her eyes are a bit sunken. I will continue my research, I was able to get some Flagyl into her - thinking maybe a build up of parasites over the winter, could be the cause - I will just have to wait until the vet gets to see her - that is if she lasts until tomarrow.

Thanks for the advice/help.

: It could be as you suspect as far as the breathing.
: Another consideration is something neurological. There are some parasites that can cause neurological problems. I've seen similar behaviors on two occasions. The outcome was not good.
