that sounds like a good idea about the dirt! my main concern for probiotics were for gut health and coccidia prevention, because I lost nearly all my poults to it last year. I think I'll try a probiotic I can add to their water this year and not risk anything with the goat probiotics. just as an...
Hello! I just had my turkey hen hatch out 8 poults, and I want to make sure everything goes smoothly so I was looking into probiotics for them. then I remembered I have some goat probiotics on hand and I was wondering if I could give some in small doses to the poults as well? it does say for...
I think we will try the formula for a while longer, but will definitely bring up the whole milk thing to him. I will try the formula probably for a week, while keeping a close eye on them, and being exact with the feedings.
I'm thinking maybe we were feeding too much with the cows milk, which...
Well, they're very active this morning, but extremely upset about their electrolyte only breakfast. They each got close to 5 oz of Pedialyte. I'm going to get my sister to give them some more around 10 because I have to leave. Let me know if there's anything else we should be doing!
They are not bloated anymore!
I have no idea what changed other than them walking around a bit and taking a nap. They haven't pooped in a while, but they are very tired, and as am I. So I will start tomorrow with only electrolytes for their diet and slowly try again with formula. And I'll make...
Thank you!!💕 I think I maybe have done all my transitions way too fast. They went from mom, to whole milk, to formula in all less than a week. I've been giving them some probiotics that are also supposed to help with stress, but I'll keep you updated on how they come along over the next week. We...
So one thing I noticed when reading is that my babies are grinding their teeth quite a bit. Is there anything I can do to make them more comfortable while I try and figure this out?
They're 14 days old. They actually haven't been drinking the full 10 oz they're supposed to all day. I've been feeding them 3-4 times a day. I also have hay available for them to nibble, but they're not too interested yet.
Currently, both. The less active one has been standing then laying down a lot and that worries me about the bloat. But they both are having awful scours quite a lot.
Thank you, I already posted something on there, but they usually aren't very active on there so I thought I'd try both.
They guy who sold them also isn't very experienced yet. These were his first kids on his farm. But they did stay on the mom for the first week to make sure they got enough...
Hi
We recently got 2 doelings (got them last Saturday, were born on 02/04/21) we were feeding them whole milk with evaporated milk and buttermilk, but they had runny poop. So we called the vet and he said to switch to a milk replacer for goats only (we also got a their cdt vaccine in while we...
Thank you, but she already passed yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately she already got buried because I forgot to tell my dad that we were going to try a necropsy. But the more I think about it it looks a lot like coccidiosis. Do you have any more information on the disease to protect my other...
