Momma donkey kicked her foal away... ran off and would have nothing to do with it.
It was given to me to nurse...
He got colostrum the first day from mare (horse) that had lost her foal. He had two feedings of Colostrum milk.
After that...I fed him every two hours and once during the night for several nights.
Then went to three hour and 4 hr intervals... with larger amount of liquid in bottles.
He had three stools the first day (assumably the merconium stools).
Then no stool the 2nd day.
Constipated and straining the 3rd so I gave him an Fleet enema.
Stool was hard and green. I had to dig it out with tip of enema.
no stool the following day and another enema followed by another green plug stool.
I decreased the milk replacer (had been told 1 cup milk replacer to 2 cups water)
decreased now to 1 cup milk replacer to 4 cups water...
He is active, happy, chases us around the yard, loving... he is a dear.
He seems well, plump and active... but his poop is still green (now runny ... will possibly go to 1 cup replacer and 3 cups water???)
Washed his messy bottom and dried it.
He is drinking a bottle 6 times per day consuming over 2 quarts of milk daily.
I am feeding him Uni-Milk from my local Tractor Supply store. as recommended by the staff there.
Any advice will be helpful as those who gave me the baby mini jack did not really know what to do either.
Joshua is currently 5 days old. He is stalled at night and runs around during the day in our yard.
Thanks in advance for the help. He seems happy but not sure about this green poop from white milk.
