How do I increase MILK production?

I thought once they stopped giving milk you would have to wait till they kidded again. I am new at this.

Yes that is true, for "real" drying off; but scours or diarrhea shouldn't make her dry off. There's a difference between being dried off and just having low milk production.

tonight she gave almost 1/2 cup and she also ate a handful of lactation pellets

Yay! Sounds like she is on her way to recovery!

Ok NOW we are up to 1 quart per milking.... yippeeeeeee! She is still only eating about 1/4 scoop of her feed but she is grazing and acting normal.....
