Dying baby goat please help

[Minnow_88]

Hi I have 50 baby goats I bought. Anywhere from 2weeks old to 2 months old. Explain what happens. The older ones are weaned the younger ones are bottle fed. We have lost probably 10 of them in the last month I think from overeating disease can someone tell me how to deal with this I've been using c&d antitoxin penicillin g any help would be great

What r they eating... how much is available at a time.. i am new to goats also.. but we only give goat feed in the morning and evening and its a measure about. We only have two though.. they have a source of hey all the time. Mine are a little older though almost a year now..

We feed kid milk replacer to the younger ones and hay to the older ones with a little grain. The younger ones get fed twice a day and their not bloated

What age are the ones dying....

Have u tried offering backing soda as a free choice.. it helps with bloat.

Yes we've been doing that to with the baking soda Its been any age goats that die they curl their head to the side and moan like they're in pain and no matter what we try they don't make it

@cassie she said in a post not long ago that gasx ( I think ) helps with bloat also.. she may know more to help...

I am hoping I tagged the right person..

Is there a vet around who could do a fecal to check for parasites

 

[Minnow_88]

I don't think its bloat we've used milk of magnesium and pepto it don't seem to help at all I've got a vet appointment in the morning I just thought I'd try on here first
