I read sometimes adding some buttermilk makes it taste better to them...is that necessary, or just plain old milk is just great

I have done the buttermilk recipe, neither goats or I liked it, too many digestive issues...just the whole cow's milk worked great here.

Have another goat in milk but she won't let him nurse. What should I use for milk replacement? The poor baby is screaming for his mama.

It’s very sad to know that. Its nice to hear about you handling those motherly duties. She will get used to it as time goes by. just be patient. good luck

poor thing... I hope you guys are dedicated enough to take care of her as much as possible... you need to tend to her until it can take care of herself.

Sorry to hear this , did the kid get any colostrum from mama before she passed? Can you milk the doe in milk and bottle feed the little guy? When we had bottle kids, we used whole cow milk from the store.

The third day for me on this thread. I really am worried about this kid. I hope she's doing fine and feeding.. that's the only way he can survive. I hope he's doing fine

Yes he has nursed for the past 13 days. We are going to try to milk the other doe, just wasn't sure how much hr should get if we bottle feed and for how long there is so much info and would rather info come from someone experienced and not 1000 different schools of thoughts.

I really want to know whats going on about the kid. I hope he's doing just fine. I really believe that he can survive his condition, Please live and strive little goat. 🐐🐐🐐

Got back to the forums about the goat looking for his mama.. how was he now? I bet he's doing great. I hope we can get some updates about him.
