Yes we do. Evening and morning kid census is getting crazy. They are crawling into every hole and crevice and it makes it hard to count them all. Yesterday there were 8 in the warming barrel so hubby made me a second one.Roll farms said:
Right now we have 19 kids on 10 does, 12 bucklings and 7 doelings. There were 2 losses, one stillborn and one to polio.
There are 5 more in the maternity ward.
2 more for March/April
6 for May and possibly June.
Then we start the crazy cycle all over again!!!!!
Fat Girl seems fine but the food just isn't disappearing like I think it should. She has picked all the corn out of her grain mix but left the rest. I am keeping her confined with free access to hay and grain. When she eats all the grain when I put it there, then I will quit worrying.

I'd probably be downright tempted to give her 4-6 oz of Prop. Glycol and about 10cc of B vitamin and a couple doses of probios.
That should get her appetite going / glucose up / keep rumen flora normal, etc. etc,

She has been getting a mollassas/corn oil mix with probios in it several times daily and Vit B complex every morning. I may stop at TS tonight and see if they have the Prop. Glycol. I am also going to up her dosage of Vit B complex (thanks Roll). I saw her chewing her cud yesterday and this morning so she is eating. She is getting more active and I no longer have to encourage her to stand up and walk around. She also fought me when I gave her her shots this morning.
Thank y'all for your suggestions. At this point I am willing to try anything.

What about some calcium? Did I miss that somewhere, I would be tempted to get a bottle of this, http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail....-11d5-a192-00b0d0204ae5&gas=calcium gluconate and give her 45 to 60 cc sub Q, 15 cc per location.jodief100 said:

or instead of doing the molasses and corn oil, do yogurt(not the light) a couple times a day, thinned with a little corn oil,

I did give her some CMPK gel. I should try the yogurt. It has calcium and protien in it. I always have big tubs of plain yogurt in the house. It reduces the greyhound gas. 
The funny thing is she seems fine! Except the grain just stays in the bin.

let her out, and don't give her grain for the entire day.jodief100 said:I did give her some CMPK gel. I should try the yogurt. It has calcium and protien in it. I always have big tubs of plain yogurt in the house. It reduces the greyhound gas.
