Pepper is sick. Don't know what it is or what do do :(

Pepper is the kid goat in my avatar pic. She is 5 weeks old and on manna pro milk replacer and whole milk mixed half and half. She normally eats like crazy and loves her bottles. Since yesterday noon she hasn't wanted a bottle. I have gotten only 2 oz of water in her today and 3ml of baking soda drench. She had a cd&t vaccine (toxoid) last monday. She looks bloated or like she just had a full bottle even though she hasn't eaten. I gave her a warm water enema earlier today and the first couple poops to come out were dark and stinky. The last three were yellowy. She had bee doing very dark brown almost normal goat pellet poops before. I don't know what else to do for her or what is causing this. Any ideas?

Well she is 100% percent better this morning. I shoved a tsp. of yogurt down her last night as well as another drench of baking soda and a small enema. Then we went to bed. This morning, she didn't look bloated any more and actually ate 14 oz of milk She is now running around the house being her normal obnoxious self. I'm a relieved goat momma.

Well, I'm glad she's feeling better! Maybe she nibbled on something that upset her tummy?
