Orphaned 2 month old

[Ridgetop]

Strange that he has survived for a month and is now getting sick. What kind of poop does he have? Runny, watery, thick, clear? Temperature - fever? How is his breathing? I assume that you vaccinated for CDT.

Can’t find him and he’s not hollering like normal. He got out the pen (sneaky thing) so I don’t know

Any updates on him?

so my buck is about 2 months old. His mama died from pneumonia a couple of weeks ago. He’s fat, almost too fat (bloated?), “bah”s a lot and just seems out of it. I had another young buck loose his mama and he ended up dying. Don’t want a repeat. Any advice? Obviously too old for a bottle. He’s currently penned with some other goats so I can watch him and make sure he eats well

I have an orphaned lamb. Her mother had died a few weeks after the birth. I had some of the same symtoms you had, it was the pro biotics that the little baby needed. Stopped the scours and just got her back on track. Hope he is doing better.
