Okay...now what????

Posted by Jan on March 8, 2011 at 1:54pm in Kidding

I had a thread about my doe with a large prolapse. When I went out today to tend it I was surprised to find it had mostly receded back inside!?!?!?

However because she hasn't eaten any hay any small bits of grain she now has runny diarrea. I have been giving her water every few hours which she takes . Any help would be appreciated.

    Oops...I meant small bits of grain (from my hand) . I just checked her again and gave her hay and removed the grain feeder. She dove into the hay and started eating it.  Things are looking out. Now if we can have these babies.....

    Thanks for the quick reply and the help and support.

    Usually when a goat has diarrhea, they recommend only dry hay and water (no pasture or grain). I wasn't clear on what she was eating. (I think you have a typo in your post.)
