Everything looks good. I only found one grammar mistake.jodief100 said:Temp is 101.2. He is standing without shaking and is much more alert. He pooped. First it was the dark tarry newborn poop and then it turned to runny molasses colored poop. I have a load of "dirty use" towels in the wash since he pooped all over the ones he had.
It is 73 degrees in the bathroom. I have turned off the furnace, the space heater and took away his heating pad. I want to have him exposed to at least as cool as 50 degrees for an hour before I take him back out to his mama.
I really hope she takes him back.I don't have time for a bottle baby. I just used 1 of my 10 paid days off today.
Since I was sitting here goat sitting I changed my website around. Anyone want to take a look as tell me what y'all think?
In the 2012 kidding section where it says
the at should be as in the sentence.
That is the only mistake I noticed. Website looks good though!
Glad to hear Nissan's buckling is doing well now. I hope Nissan and her kids continue to do well.

Thank you, I am horrible at spelling and typos. I appreciate the look.
Baby had a setback. His temp drop to 99 when I turned off the heat sources. So I will get him warmed up again and cool the room down much slower this time. I was tryign to get him back with his mama tonight but I will just have to take it as his pace.
Please no bottle babies.

Can you try a sweater on him and putting him in w/ her for the afternoon, then taking him back in tonight if you feel you need to? I think she needs some time w/ him to remember him.

Hmmmm. That might be worth a try. I sew greyhound coats as a fundraiser for greyhound adoption and I think I have a few sized for whippets and Italian greyhounds upstairs.Roll farms said:
I just took his temperature, it is 99.6 but he is as active as I have seen him. He is hungry. I was holding him to get his temp and he was bumping *MY* udder and nibbling at it.
I am going upstairs to look through my coats........
The smallest size coat I had is a little too big, so I cut a section out of the belly band and it will work.
I bought him up to Nissan. She sniffed him, cleaned his hiney and let him search all over her for the teat. He couldn't find it and after about 5 minutes he was shivering again. So I took him back to the house. His temperature is little over 100. I tried to help him find the teat but he wasn't cooperating. I think he will be fine if he can get some warm milk in him before he gives up looking for the teat.
Nissan did take him back, lets hope she is the same way the next time.

When I have "stubborn" (aka stupid) lambs that can't/won't find the teat, I'll physically open their mouths and put them on the teat. I have to hold them/push them to it because they want to back up and not cooperate (like I'm trying to kill them 
). Then if they don't suck right away, I'll use my fingers to close their mouth in intervals like they're sucking. Usually after doing that once or twice the light bulb comes on and they "get it". 
If your little man hasn't actually nursed on mom, I would definitely put him on the teat for a few times until he figures out what it is he's actually looking for.

Long story short.
I am at work today with a baby goat in my car. He horked down about 6 ounces of milk this morning. I will keep him in the house overnight but slowly cool off the room he is in and reintroduce him to Nissan tomorrow morning after his bottle. That way I can supervise him and intervene before we have trouble.

I wish we lived closer to each other. You could of dropped him off at my house for daycare and then picked him up after work.
