My does had their babies almost a month ago. And i have been having trouble getting them to eat. The babies have nursed them to almost a bag of bones. No fat whatsoever left on their bodies. I can feel their backbone. One seems to have good color in her eyes and takes supplements very well. The other she is very pale and i have to force them down her. I give Power Punch and Jumpstart. They have minerals and fresh water. They get vitamin c tablets and 2 cups of feed. And all the hay they want. I turn them out to browse for an hour a day when im working and longer on days im off. They were just dewormed when the babies were born. And again 2 days ago. Is there something i can give them to help bulk them up and keep producing milk? The one thats color isnt very well she has a wierd smell. Reminded me of ketosis in cattle. Thanks for ur help.....again!
