Big water scares me. When I was 18 I went swimming in the Gulf and something HUGE rubbed up against my leg. I mean HUGE. It took it's time swimming past, felt like it was rubbing against me for 3 minutes. I freaked out and my ex had to drag me back to the beach. *shudder*

Glad you had fun!

Sorry about the dogs killing the goat.

well as some of you know Brownie had her triplets early with a sad outcome. I have only one left who has yet to stand. Any advice out there please help.

She has had her shot of BOSE and baking soda eats every 3-4 hours. Her name will be Miracle if she makes it she is a Boer cross with spots I will post pics soon. This kid is stealing my heart

better pics coming soon, we work on standing every hour or so

Sorry, I missed it somehow.

I wish I could help but I just don't know what to say.

Hi Kerri,
Preemies do not typically have a good chance of survival- but not to say they cannot make it- feed often, feed either moms milk or cows milk not replacer- make sure the baby pees and poops daily numerous times,and is kept warm- When she is string enough I would allow her to nurse from the mom if possible - in the mean time I do have a section on baby goats in my website- (http://Goat-Link.com) There is a feeding chart there in the bottle baby article- BUT because she is a preemie-reduce the amount of milk per bottle and you may to increase the number of bottles per day for a few weeks - feel her tummy and do not feed past full- do not allow it to get tight- and make sure she poops- pooping is as important as eating to them because what goes In HAS to come out and if it doesn't it stays on the gut and goes toxic- and can be fatal. Also an article on giving a baby goat an enema if need be to make them poop if it isn't, and photos of how to hold the bottle and photos of baby poop- both normal and not normal .

I got this from this site.

You would think when searching for Preemie Goat babies you'd find Goat and NOT human babies.

Miracle is doing AWESOME! Today ate at 6 am and took 7 ounces then ate 6 ounces at 11:30. She can get up on her own now without my help; still on wobbly legs but will walk a little bit. I can't wait until she plays any guesses when that will be? I will get another shot of her later today. I am really pleased with her progress
