I've been given a lamb, this morning, umbical cord looked fresh.
Not sure if she'd had colostrum, so gave her 50ml goats colostrum, then later about 70ml, which was all I had, no vehicle to go and get anything. Would this amount help at all ?
She is about 3kg, after the colostrum, she's been on goats milk, 100ml every 2-3 hours, I'm about to mix some Lamlac and give her 150ml of Lamlac and goats milk. (When feeding goat kids I find there are less problems giving the combined milk). Never had to rely on bottle feeding one so young before.
Reading some goat advice it says 4oz milk to 5lb body weight. Is this OK?
Amazed OH not objected to her being in the kitchen ;-).
