NEED HELP For A Sick Doeling

[ksalvagno]

I'd give her a minimum of 10ml. I'm not totally sure on dosage since I have only had to use it once but I know the dosage is really high for goats.

Already did 6 ml before seeing this post. Tomorrow we can give her another shot if needed.

This evening she seems a lot more alert and energetic, eating and moving around more with her twin sister and mom.

Glad to hear she's doing better - I find that on weekends I'm rarely on, so I'm sorry that I didn't chime in with my thoughts/ideas when you needed it...

My doeling had some issues when she was 5 weeks old and again at 8 weeks (here's the thread)

She hasn't had any issues since, so I can only surmise that she ate something that didn't agree with her. A baking soda drench (I didn't measure out anything, just mixed a bunch of baking soda with water to make it somewhat liquid-y and shoved it down her throat) seemed to make her better almost immediately. She didn't have a temp so I didn't bother administering any anitibiotics or something like that.

Keep us posted on how she's doing!

Thanks glenolam for the thread. My wife really enjoyed reading through it.

The little doeling (Flower) is doing great. She is eating, running around and jumping with her sister. I know she is fine now because she's already tried to head butt the new little girls we just got.

Thanks to everyone for their advise and help.
