Weak fawn convulsing

We have a 3 month old fawn that this morning started convulsing. She is very weak and cannot stand on her own. She tries to push her head against the pen walls. She is grinding her teeth and was foaming at the mouth a little. She will not eat. Until today she was grazing on grass and leaves and seemed fine. Her symptoms match enterotoxemia, but she has not recently gotten into any grains. We have called our vet, but it being Sunday are waiting for a return call from the emergency number. We are trying to see what if anything we can do until we hear from the vet.
 
C&D antitoxin immediately 2cc subQ....



I'd give some fluids also, IV bag sub Q at least 50cc
