[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 28302, member: 545"] I just saw your post about the water balls. I've heard of Ts taking water from these, but not all of them will. A water dish remains the best way to provide Ts with water. If his problem is dehydration, he definitely has a chance in an ICU. However, just to accomodate the dehydration possibility, you might first try getting him to drink. For a water dish, you can use the lid off a food container, like a peanut butter jar. Place the T head-downward in the water dish for at least 45 minutes or as long the T will tolerate it. Watch it carefully to make sure that its abdomen does not contact the water (the lungs are located under the abdomen, so it will not be in any danger with its head contacting the water). If after several hours there is no improvement, go ahead and place the T in the ICU. [/QUOTE]
