Milk replacer is a poor substitute for natural goats milk or even whole cows milk and never really a first choice (just saw the bit about going to milk replacer...).

Posted on Wednesday, August 09, 2006 - 09:26 am:    Last night I gave the buck kid the Sulmet and some gatorade and this morning he was already doing better. I gave it to him again this morning. Do I do the Sulmet once or twice a day? When should I give milk again? He wants it now but for today I want to continue with the gatorade. I hope I caught this in time. Yesterday I wasn't very hopeful but today hes so much better. Thanks again for all your help.   Maggie Leman Moderator Username: maggieleman Post Number: 1111 Registered: 07-2005 Posted From: 64.102.64.115 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

Posted on Tuesday, August 08, 2006 - 09:15 pm:    No fever. Went to the fair tonight and met some goat people. Been raising goats for 30 years. I was told NOT to give any milk for a few days. Only electrolytes. Then go to a milk replacer for a few days. Have you ever heard of this? Should I give the Sulmet once or twice a day? Thanks for all your help.
