I apologize if I offended anyone or made anyone uncomfortable. It was certainty not my intention and I won't use a harsh word like that again. I respect everyone's view on the subject, nor do I think my view is the "right" way or the answer. Again, sorry if I made anyone upset with my response.
I am going to try and get my hands on some! But he is not a goat.. He is a little lamb. Is it okay for sheep?
I am glad to see some energy and spunk in him too. But then it seems it just makes him feel worse after the energy burst dies down. His diarrhea is so bad. It's like a mucky green...
I don't believe in it, and I obviously don't do it on my farm. If we breed any of our animals, it's the natural way. I could never get my girl pregnant from that, I'd feel too uncomfortable with that.
Not judging, just my opinion.

Little Max is crazy today. He is full of energy and has been playing a lot of today. I gave him a bath today because he was covered in his poo. :(
But he seems really happy, even if he is sick. He loves to play, and seems to dislike feet. He always is trying to head butt my feet...
You got that right!!!
He is seriously around the clock care. There are times I don't sleep for a day or two, because of him! He needs so much care and attention, not to mention if I leave the room, he goes insane and screams his head off. I have not left my house is 10 days and have spent all my...
I am going to try that solution tonight. I have not given any pepto today, and he still has diarrhea. I am going to give him the the Dumor Electrolyte and his regular formula. I am doing 80/20. 80% of the time I am giving him the electrolyte and the rest of the time I am giving him his formula...
I feel so bad for you! Haha. Sometimes the babies can be willing and ready to come out into the world, and the mama just isn't digging it. Hopefully she will make some progress soon. In the mean time, make some tea/coffee and relax if possible. :pop
I will try that when I can get all the ingredients.. But that's only if my poor boy is alive. He has turned for the worst and I'm trying everything I can and nothing is helping. I have a feeling I am going to lose him.. And if he continues down this path for the next week tops, I am putting him...
Do you have any suggestions for another formula I could buy? I got him the Dumor Blue Ribbon Electrolyte Supplement for Stress and Scours and he seems to really enjoy that a lot.
I don't have milking goats, and my pregnant female needs all her milk right now, because I have a feeling she is...
Another Update.. :caf
So I got him Dumor Blue Ribbon Electrolyte Supplement for Stress and Scours. He took it immediately and enjoyed it. He still is going through scours though. I can't find a vet who deals with sheep yet, but I am continuing to look around. He seems to be doing well today...
This whole event has broken my heart reading it. Poor girl. I agree though.. It may be the best thing to put her down if she does not improve soon. It's awful that sometimes we have to pick that choice, but it's best for the animal at times.
I am so sorry for this, you've done a great job and...
UPDATE 3/27/13
This morning he was crying a good amount, which he has not done in a while. I got him a bottle of Pedialyte and he took it instantly. He got a good amount of it. Then I noticed that he was foaming from the mouth. It was a white color. I am not sure if it was from him drinking too...
