: You will have to for give me as I am new at this. My boyfriends boss has given us a baby boer goat cause the mother had twins and she diddent want this one no matter what they tried. He is 5 days old now and I love him dearly. When we got him they had given me a few cans of goat milk(the kind you buy in the grocery store) that you mix half and half. It is exspencive. I got him on a kid milk replacer from our local feed dealer.It is made by Purina. He has been on this replacer for 2 days and today(the secound day)he has got diarrhea. he eats about a pint and a half maybe a little less a day. Im not sure if i'm over feeding or the change of replacer. The diarrhea is not a diffrent color. I was wondering what I can do to help the little guy i loveingly named Dude. Please let me know if you have any suggestions and thank you.
HELLO. HOWS BABY DOING. I DONT KNOW A LOT ABOUT GOATS BUT WHEN I FIRST GOT MY LITTLE ONES THE ONE I GOT THEM FROM TOLD ME CHANGING THIER FOOD MAY CAUSE DIARRHEA AND IF DID TO GIVE THEM PEPTO BISMOL FOR IT. THEY ALSO SAY TO GIVE ELECTOLYTES FOR DEHY. DONT KNOW IF IT WILL HELP. I ALSO SCROLLED DOWN THIS PAGE WHEN I AM NEEDING HELP AND FOUND SOME INFORMATION THAT ALWAYS HELP, MAYBE SOME OF IT WILL HELP YOU TOO. HOPE EVERYTHING WORKS OUT GOD BLESS.
