bottle feeding

Some background on this lamb: He's about a week and a half old and had a rough delivery (sideways position, ewe with pre-lambing vaginal prolapse and then ring-womb - it took us hours to deliver the lamb and we thought we'd lose them both). He has been struggling with a tendon injury in his...

TLDR: what is normal for baby goat bottle feeding, how much, how often? Feeding behaviors, when will she eat texture, etc? Grunting after feeding? Tooth grinding? Not taking to the bottle. I picked up an orphaned feral baby goat, that has imprinted on myself and husband, this is my third day...

My Nubian boar doe is about 3 weeks old and her name is Rosie. We recently took Rosie to the vet, because she was coughing and her nose was runny. When we got there, she was diagnosed with a severe case of bronchitic pneumonia, due to fluids in the lungs. I started blaming myself for not bottle...

Help! My baby goat keeps falling asleep when I go to feed her. Then the bottle leaks everywhere and I don't know if shes eating anything at all. Or just making a mess. Tips?

I have a new baby goat, she's a board/Nubian cross, and she's about two weeks old. (Her name's Rosetta) I tried bottle feeding her for the first time, (I know it doesn't always work the first the first time) and she would only take it from the side of her mouth. She wouldn't suck it, just chew...

We had ten baby piglets three days ago. We are down to three now. I think the only way we will manage to save them is if we take them away from their momma and bottle feed them. I’m going to need some fast tips on how to bottle feed them. ***Will they drink from Pritchard nipples? ***How much...

ok so I’ve raised my lambs on 9oz dollar store baby bottles thus far. They are now ready for much bigger quantities so I got 1 quart bottles with lamb nipples and they hate them! I have to force feed them. I hate having to bringing out the extra formula and pour multiple bottles so how do I...

We have two lambs we are bottle feeding. One is 4 weeks the other is almost 6 weeks. They drink water out of a bucket and nibble at grass but they still really like their bottles. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hi - I am in Hawaii, I have three adult pet wild pigs that were all hand raised and one of them had three babies on Dec 13th. All three nursed the first day. Then day two one was pushed out and was not nursing while the other two thrived. He could barely stand, the other two were bouncing...

Help! My 4 week old Pygmy twins mom is gone and I need to get them on the bottle, but obviously they are terrified and refusing. They are eating grain and hay and drinking water but I don't know how to get the milk replacer into them. Any advice?! Thanks a bunch!!!!

I'm sure all of my questions could be answered by surfing through the other threads on this site more deeply, but I'm pretty new around here and still feeling my way around. Anyway, my Rosie-girl (two year old Alpine) is pregnant! Her due date is April 17th, and as the time is getting closer...

Hello, I've read all about how dangerous it is to overfeed kids, and I've checked the recommended feeding schedules for baby goats, but my week old mini-Nubians act like they're starving still when I feed the suggested quantities. Should I feed them as much as they seem to want, or cut them off...

Can I bottle feed them powdered whole goat's milk? Or is the pasteurized goat's milk I buy in the store better? My concern is that the store goat's milk is low fat. I assume I'd have to add some fat of some sort in that. I've also used whole cow's milk, which they seem to enjoy. I can't help...
