Kids weaning and loose poop

[Pearce Pastures]

Is it the liquid 40%?

Directions:
· Weigh your animal as accurately as you can (better to be slightly over than underdosing)
· Orally administer 1 ml per 5 pounds of your animal’s weight on day one of the five day treatment.
· Then for the next 5 days, administer 1ml per 10 pounds.

It's liquid 12.5%, like the one Fiasco Farms listed.

I came across this thread and thought it could help you?

We just dosed them according to that thread about an hour ago! I figured since that agreed with what Pearce said (when calculated appropriately) that it would be fine for them.

Getting 25mls in Ruby was no easy task! The others weren't any easier than her but the had less. That stuff must taste awful. They gagged and tried to spit it out the whole time.

It is nasty stuff, like bitter rotten eggs. They act like they are just dying but it does the job fast. So glad you were able to get some into them.

Idk! Poor babies.

They are no worse for the wear this morning. Much less "full" looking, but we held back their grain last night too so that may be contributing to that.

I'm just glad they didn't ever show any symptoms other than the loose poops. No lethargy and their famacha scores are all pretty good.

Thank you both for your help.
