What are you thinking of instead?

I am not sure what to do
The buck is not doing well. It turns out his mom wasn't letting down her milk for him I know he got some colostrum. Stella's udder is really hard when we try to milk her or if her baby try's to nurse. We are getting him warmed up right now. I am not giving up on this little guy . Once he is warmed up I was going to give him some egg, milk, and molasses? I feel really bad for not paying close attention but since it did happen what can i doe.

If you can't get goat's milk go get some cow's milk from the store. DO NOT use a milk replacer. Grocery store whole milk will work just fine. I personally would not add anything to the milk. Do you have a nipple? Use a pritchard nipple if you can get one, TSC has them.

You need to work on mom, massage, hot compress, and more massage, she needs to be milked out. Has she been tested for CAE? A first freshener as a four year old means lots of milk and a first time mom so hopefully she just needs to realize what she is supposed to do.

Sorry to hear this, can you try warm compresses on your doe's udder to get the milk to come out. You will have to milk her out to get it easier for the kid to nurse.

BTW, the fastest way to warm up a baby goat is a warm bath. Immerse him in the water all of the way, get him warm, and then blow dry him.

The lady that we got them from said
That she saw the papers and he had never had a goat test positive. When she took them she never did test them nor did she have any other with CAE.

Thank you nor do I. So far all my kids have been fine.
