what milk to feed a kid??

She is probably sore but should be at least milked. It will help her hormones settle a bit. She also needs to be getting up and standing so if you get her on the milkstand for even a few minutes of milking that will be good for her.

Thanks! We finished off the colostrum the vet milked out. The baby won't latch on to the teat, but supprisingly Spotz will let us milk her, she just stands there!! We thought she would fight us on that! So we got some milk in bottles to feed him, and we try to get him on the teat. Any advice? Spotz will let him go on her he just won't latch on. :/

It is tricky when they are used to the bottle, You have to pretty much pry his mouth open, and try to put the teat into his mouth, and squirt milk in it as you are doing this.

It will also help to make sure he is hungry when you are trying this, so at least 4 or 5 hours since his last bottle.
