Their mom's milk is too rich for them and they don't have the good gut flora. I like DynaPro but anything (even yoghurt!) will work in a pinch.AKPonyGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02969589711581884433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362469945181286987.post-55669393319848190352010-04-09T20:57:44.227-05:002010-04-09T20:57:44.227-05:00How long does she have to go? If she's in her ...How long does she have to go? If she's in her last month it could be Ketosis or pregnancy toxemia. I'd keep a close eye on her and if she doesn't start eating within a day or two call the vet.<br /><br />We thought Febe had that last year. She had 4 weeks to go and she was not well. But it was bad hay she had gotten into. I thought they could only get Ketosis after they delivered, but they can get it about 4 weeks before they kid.<br /><br />I don't want to panic you, just prepare you. These goats are going to be the death of us or drive us to drink. One or the other.<br /><br />Febe delivered 2 boys yesterday and they have diarreah. Her kids last year did the same thing. It freaks me out!<br /><br />Good luck. Email me and let me know who things are going.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272909221294270344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362469945181286987.post-42629925836501903922010-04-09T16:05:31.596-05:002010-04-09T16:05:31.596-05:00How many weeks till they are supposed to be due? ...How many weeks till they are supposed to be due? I wouldn't worry to much if she's off her food for a day or two, as long as she's drinking ok.

My buck gets very, very upset if he is not fed first! Although I don't think that sorta thing happens with all goats... but it does happen. He butts the stall door and carries on something fierce! <br /><br />My herd queen has still not excepted my new doeling and tries to get her every chance she gets. The doeling has learned how to get out of dodge fairly quick, but she still gets it from The Queen...Linda Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875718412873470143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362469945181286987.post-21511166222414614092010-04-09T09:11:04.976-05:002010-04-09T09:11:04.976-05:00You sound like a worried gramma!

They are goats. Isn't she close to birthin them babies? I know I didn't feel like eating much as my belly got bigger.PAK ARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985770093478778520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-362469945181286987.post-83452533399056487992010-04-09T08:50:08.925-05:002010-04-09T08:50:08.925-05:00Wow Krissy, I would be worried also!Wow Krissy, I would be worried also!Linda Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875718412873470143noreply@blogger.com
