Make sure the nursing mom does not have a temp and that her udder and milk is normal. A doe with some type of bacteria can contaminate the baby thru the milk. Just a thought from a pass experience I had. | ||

Guess I spoke too soon. The kid now has temp of 104.5. I gave her 1 cc of motrin which I will continue during the night. Do I give her penicillin twice a day or only once a day? | ||

Do I get Nuflor from my vet? Will Penicillin work meanwhile? Her mom is nursing her - everything is okay from that perspective. | ||

Hi, Brenda I haven't heard from you in a while. Yes it sounds like pnuemonia I would start her on 1cc of Nuflor every 12 hours. For the temp give her liquid childrens motrin 2cc every 4 hours as needed for temp. Will she nurse her mama if not you will have to tube her.

I have a 2 day old doe. I noticed a few minutes ago that she was breathing rather rapidly. Her temp is 105.1. Could she have pneumonia? I gave her some Nutridrench about 3 hours after she was born plus 1 cc of Albon. She weighs 8 lbs today. |
