Aetiology unclear! Treatment includes; one off dose of steroids,&nbsp;calcium &amp; multivits, antibiotics, to cover most of the potential causes, as well as&nbsp;supportive fluids/nutrition. Often symptoms persist. If not eating well on own you could get some harrisons recovery formula as find this v useful for crop/syringe feeding.</p> <p>Good luck!!!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
