Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot
You've got some milk down him, the most important. Keep them out of the wind if it is cold and he should perk up.

If you ever do have to splint any, get some of the hard foam pipe insulation for 2" water pipe. Wrap it around the legs and wrap cheap duct tape around that. The cheap duct tape will fall off in a few weeks, which by then they are cured. Saves having to chase them down, the splints will just fall off. Don't use Gorilla tape.

Only ones we've ever splinted were the ones that couldn't walk because they were knuckled over. Ones that can stand will be fine, just need a little time.
