What is her temperature? A pea sized amount of probios on your finger swiped on the roof of her mouth, may help.
A pinch of baking soda in her first bottle of the day
Whole cows milk or moms milk is better that replacer, but with the pandemic, whole milk may be a challenge to get.
B complex shot. 4 cc / 100 lbs SQ
If i think of anything else, i will post!
Good luck!

 

Possibly. It is rare, but you never know. Just keep fighting for her!

 

Her temp is 101.

 

Temp is a bit low, maybe a heating pad. make sure she is able to get away from it when she warms up!

 

Thank you all! She’s had great improvement within 24hours! She’s now sucking 3oz of cows milk from bottle every 4 hours! Started jumping and being playful this morning!

 

YAAY! Glad to hear!

 

I found out by accident that a kid will not suck on a bottle that isn't warm enough. It has to be warmer than a baby bottle. Warm bottles to goat normal temp around 102.

 

LOL. They'll spit that nipple back out as fast as they latched on to it!

 

That's good news! I had two little ones that were a bit slow to start, and "all of the above" recommendations got them rolling quickly: B complex gel, Se & E gel, bottles with momma milk/colostrum, and access to minerals. I gave the B compex 3 days in a row, Se & E only once.

They are now at 10 days and wholy schmoly, they are bouncy happy little girls!

 

Ok I do have one more question! She’s now 4 days old and she weighs around 3.5 lbs. she’s eating around 4 oz every 4 hours. I’ve got her on cows milk. She’s starting to get some really loose stool. Kinda diarrhea. What can I give her to help that?

 

Do you have any Probios? That might help get her gut bacteria in order. Though the milk poop is kinda soft and pasty, quite yellow, until the system matures enough to make proper berries.

I'm sure some other folks will have some more ideas as it could be a number of things.

 

I do have probios! Should I just do plain warm cows milk? With nothing added to it?
