Try it for a week or so, see how things go. It does sound like it might be a bit strong for him, but only time will tell.

He looks only a couple weeks old, but I love the black shiny coat on him, which is a good sign he looks like he's healthy otherwise.

I'm glad he looks healthy, I am worried though, his knee is swelled and he limps, I don't know what could be wrong with it, he also lays around and sleeps a lot.

Also I noticed on the package it says not to mix with milk.. Whoopsie!, so I gave him 1q milk at 830 and 2 q electrolytes at 1230 I plan to give 1q milk tonight at 8-830

Maybe if it says not to mix with milk to not give electrolytes with the milk, just either electrolytes or milk. I hope also he doesn't have joint-ill, though swollen joints could be a symptom of something else.

You might also want to consider the kind of milk replacer you're giving him. Are there other type of milk replacer you can buy if the current stuff seems to be too strong for him? If not, you may just have to dilute the mixture a little more than what the package recommends as a suitable mixture.
