In Reply to: Tube fed kid out of sorts - any ideas? posted by Max on March 26, 2002 at 12:35:26:
Wow thats a tough one before I have finished my second pot of coffee. I pulled one last year that was kinda funny she did nurse for a week but we lost her figured kidding stress it was a real hard labor. Also on the Pnumonia there is a Pasturella based kind that doesn't show much of any symptons until the goat is almost gone. It attacks the outside of the lung first once inside it is to late. Unfortunatly I have seen this often I believe it's in our barn and soil. Could also be that the buck isn't getting enough since I don't bottle somebody else will have to help you with amounts. If I speak to Dalice today I will have her log on as she does bottle feed. As far as the grinding his teeth go I am told thats a sign of pain, you can give Bute to goats but it is hard on the organs and one that small may not be able to handle it. Most animals you can give Baby Asprine to but again I would double check that because he is so young. Sorry I can't be more help. Good Luck and keep us posted.
