4 weeks old w/scours - UPDATE 2/18

I think the Neomycin helped.

Today was a little soft again. I think it's because she's not eating enough solids.

She's chewing on curtains, clothes, hair, carpet, my kitchen cabinets, phone books, magazines, pillows, electrical cords.................................................

But she's not eating ANY grain and very little hay.

Her siblings - who know they are goats and that they belong in the barn - are eating solids with mom. She is not.

I've offered her my cereal - after she attempted to climb into the bowl, part of my bagel - after she tried to jump on the kitchen table, hmmmmm what else........

See, it turns out that this is not a baby goat, this is a demon. A demon sent by evil forces to wreck my house and make me crazy. It's in a cute little goat package too lull me into this false sense of security and to make me love it and accept it as it wrecks havoc in my house and on my sanity.

Maybe if I start eating hay she will eat hay....................................... how many weight watcher points is a hay flake?

Yep, I've lost my mind..............

Not sure----let me know what they say when you ask W.W.

My Scottie thinks that he's a puppy and curls on the couch with DH and watches t.v. I've got a pic in my journal to prove it.

Scottie eats hay because we have a bin with some in it in the laundry room where he spends most of his time. While he has ate a chunk of my drywall and tries to eat the laundry as you're doing it, I think he eats a respectable amount of hay for his size.

I'd love to know what W.W. says about those hay flake points though

I have a large box of hay in my kitchen. Actually I have hay on my living room floor, my bedroom floor and my washer and dryer both have hay in them from washing things with poo on them. My vacuum cleaner is full of hay.

I've also tried showing her grain - no interest.

She nibbles the hay, but would rather eat phone books, magazines, coupons, she got into my purse and chewed a receipt, picture frame, boots, shoes, coat sleeves, cardboard boxes, barbie doll hair, blankets, pillows, curtains............oh and she loves my house plants. I created a barricade that she can't cross because I'm sure none of them are edible. She even tried to eat the dog, well his fur at least. He was not amused.

The demon inside must sleep though and when she gets tired she climbs up onto my chest under my chin - all 7 pounds of her - and cuddles. That is when I forget about all of the chasing and "No don't eat that" and think about how hard it will be to put her in the barn. Then, the demon stirs, it wakes up, stretches it's tiny little legs and off we go......."NO, Ellie, NO, don't eat that" GRRRRRRRRRR
