Just a quick note - when you are warming up hypothermic animals - you have to do it slow- not fast.
If you do it too fast - ie. running warm water over them, using a hairdryeretc, all of the capillaries on the surface of the skinopen, and blood rushes to the surface. The animal can then go intohypovolemic shock - not enough blood at the internal organs.Try and warm the animal slowly using ambient heat. Hope thishelps.

I have had good luck warming up a baby with luke-warm running water.
I don't use really warm water and the action on the water running on their
bodies seems to stimulate them to breathe.
Just what works for me.
