I am afraid my twin 10 day old mini Nubians may both be in the early stages of scours. I had to switch back and forth between their mom's milk and cow's milk a couple times and I'm afraid that may have been tough on their systems. Their lose, yellow stool has just begun, but I want to treat it immediately after reading how many people lose goats to such problems. Is it better to make your own electrolyte solution, as I have seen several recipes online, or use Pedialyte or Gatorade? I am on my way to pick up Pedialyte (and I have Gatorade). Also am I correct in understanding that they may need to remain on only Pedialyte or their electrolyte solution until their stool is normal--perhaps for 2-3 days? Any advice would be appreciated!
