I noticed her little bottom teeth are coming in. She is trying to walk all over , though still looks like she is walking on bowed straws, 
but getting better at it and standing longer. She is pooing better and I think her new nick name is stinky..... 
I have to wash everything and put down some more scrap carpet. Hoping it will be nice enough to make her a little play pen on the back porch with baby play panels and some shavings. that way mom can spend more time with her and I can just bring her in at night.

Do you have BoSe? I would get 1/2 cc of Bose into her. It will help her legs.

That is just the cutest thing ever! We had a very young cria that we bottle raised, but she wasn't as small as peaches! You're doing great, and it sounds like everything is going very well

It is selenium. It is vet Rx. A bottle of it is not expensive. Your goats could use it too. You can inject it SQ.

Hummm. my vet is out of town. I have a goat vitamin E & Selenium orange gel paste in the wormer type tube..... could that work?
If so how much can i give?
Here is what is says in Jeffers:
A unique combination of Selenium Selenite and Vitamin E at levels designed for goats.
Both the Selenium Selenite and Vitamin E are ALL NATURAL.
Selenium and Vitamin E Gel is in a Real Gel base that melts at body temperature so when administered it will not roll off the tongue.
The Vitamin E level is 500 IU per 5mLl (cc) dose. The maximum level of Selenium is at 3 ppm per animal. Each 5mL (5cc) dose contains 2.5 ppm of Selenium.
This product is to be used as the sole source of Selenium.
A butterscotch flavor has been added for increased palatability
80 mL dial-a-dose tube contains (16) 5 mL doses.

You could use that but I'm not sure of dosage. I guess whatever it says for goats. Hopefully they give some sort of weight dosage. I like the injectible better but I would get selenium in this cria as fast as possible so the paste will have to do. I think other alpaca breeders have used the paste but most I know use the BoSe.

I have used the injectable orally before with a WILD goat and it worked. I wasn't paying super close attention to the time frame of effectiveness/absorption though. She was having weak pastern issues and it helped eh with in a week or three. Again, I really wasn't documenting anything.
