Oops, my bad. It does have electrolites though. Pediolite would be better.

Montana Southshore Veterinary Service offers Emergency Services 24 hours a day, all year round.

There's information at this link that tells you what number to call for emergency and what information to leave;

This clinic may not be near you but you could call and get professional advice.

They won't handle birds I talked to them and they referred me to Great falls. Great Falls at 9:30 in the morning will take a blood culture.

In the mean time please call the emergency after-hours vet. They will be able to advise you how to best support him until the morning.

Do they have an after hours emergency number to call to assist with handling emergencies until they open in the morning?
