Is there away to get ahold of colostrum if so i know its abit late but it might still help some. Makr sure before you feed him his body temp is up so he can digest the food correctly. I would give probiotics, and selenium.
I dont know who would have colostrum. May be other goat farmers that may sell milk. I will reach out. I was trying to get hold of the C&D Antitoxin. Are you familiar with it....if no colostrum anywhere?

I posted pics and an update a few moments ago. Take a look.

Thanks much.

I just saw an ad:
Goat Milk Colostrum Supplies the Body with Immune Factors and Is Easily Tolerated by Most. Our 24 hour Colostrum Comes from Our Small, Family Farm in Washington State. Highlights: A Small & Family-Run Farm, Serving Since 1928.

Some farms sell it via internet. I will see who has some nearby in Maryland or Virginia near Wash DC.

I'm in VA .... What area are you. Here, near Va Beach. About 3 hrs fm DC.

Colostrum is BEST absorbed in first 24 hrs of life. But, won't hurt. The taste is different, milk is thicker. I have some frozen milk 36 hrs post kidding...still heavy stuff, still some colostrum in it. Have 2 pints, these were vaccinated does. It's yours if you want it.


My current 6 does in milk are nursing kids, so past colostrum stages. But I have a few does due to kid before long, so can freeze more then for any later needs. Time to resupply my stash anyway.
