    They should not have nerve damage but could get upper respitory(a cold).I would keep a close eye on them and listen for any whistleing sounds or bubbles.How long was the electricity out?

    pombikiball,
    Hey I am sorry I can imagine how stressful your problem is. I don't actually have any advice at all I just don't know enough I just wanted to say that I hope things work out for you!

    Re: sad day yesterday

    How long were they cooled to that temp? You should be okay, but watch for telling signs of RI. I think you'll be okay as long as we're talking less than 24 hours.

    Save your money, visit the vet once signs start to show.

    Good Luck!
