[Hollyberry’s dwarfs]

I have a 2 day old Nigerian Dwarf, not thriving. Won’t walk, barely move. Hardly any noises. Bath given, feeding with a bottle with moms milk. Molasses. Heating pad. I don’t know what to do….

 

[GoofyGoat]

What’s his temp rectally? (Normal is 101.5-103.5*F)
Has he had selenium/vitamin e?
How much are you feeding each time you feed and at what temperature is the milk?
he needs to be dry wet goats loose body heat quickly, use a blow dryer on low if you can to get him dry.
You‘re our eyes so we have to ask a lot of questions to help

 

[Boer Mama]

What’s babies temp at? You want her up at 101°
Then also make sure mamas milk is warmed back up enough for her as well.
Try a pinch of cayenne mixed into a little honey and rubbed on her gum.

 

[Boer Mama]

Also, get a weight in baby please

 

[BV Farms]

Does he hold his head up and stand or does he lay flat on his side?

 

[Boer Mama]

Definitely prop up if laying flat. You want them sternal.
How is baby doing now? Any improvement?

 

[toth boer goats]

Need a temp on the kid.

Hoping the kid wasn’t fed sub temp.

Keep the kid upright.
