Still on lamb formula . finally drinking up to 6 oz. per feeding. was only taking 1-3 oz. every 2 hours. was dewormed, guardia was found and panacur given x's 3 doses. Dosent eat hay. I have tried alfalfa hay, sweet meadow hay, horse hay,chopped alfalfa and timothy hay. For grains I have tried. sweet feed, cracked corn, lamb pellets. We have no other lambs or sheep or goats to be his role model. breed is a black belly barbadoes. He had long white hair. which he has now shed and is all white.
