Here is Peaches this morning. Looks pretty good for just popping out triplets, less than 24 hours ago!

Is that something I can find at WAL-MART? The Poly Vi Sol? What about Probios? That was something I thought of this morning...I have to go to the feedstore this afternoon anyway for a new bale of straw...

Okay...here they are!

Yeah you'll find the Poly Vi Sol at any store in the baby vitamins area.

ProBios - good for mom (we always dose the dams right after they're done cleaning the kids, sometimes for 3 days solid because it upsets the tummy to ingest all that gloop). When the kids are 4-5 days old, we give them their first dose...then weekly on weeks 3-6 while doing cocci prevention to keep that new rumen happy...then again when they wean.

So the Poly stuff--dO I add that to their milk? OR give it to them in their mouths?

Yes. Their daddy is a Boer goat. Peaches is an Alpine x Pgymy. They usually look like mini-boers from this cross.

These are the first light colored ones she's had, though. All of the previous kids have been black/white.

LOL Thanks! You may be jealous if they end up needing bottles! LOL

Slowly add it to the milk (it tastes aweful, just ask any mother who has had to give it to their baby!)...until you get the dosage to where it should be (.5 mL once a day).
