Other 2 are healthly and so is mom. Baby is cold and not moving much but is till alive. I think it might be respitory but can i cure that by moving cages. It is sunday cant go to the vet. Will she come back if moved

Ok. Mom was not caring for her. I did put her in a box on a heating pad. I had a med dropper and she was taking water for me. I was gonna hand feed her. I got up off the floor for a minute to come back to an empty box. I was frantic. Only to find her in my dogs mouth ::cry222::: my husband had to pull her out and her front half was already gone.

I believe after looking at her she had fallen. My shelves arent that high but i have a colony so 3 adults in there maybe knocked her off. She had a red around her eyes which she wouldnt open but she also ahd a cut on her foot. Im not really sure. They mom and 2 other babies are now in a smaller cage jsut by them selves.
