Does anyone have a post pregnancy tonic recipe? I've seen a few videos of people giving a cider vinegar, molasses tea (or something) to their does after they kid, but no one gives a recipe.

My does love BSM straight. No need to put it in water. I haven't found then drink much of the water if I add it to it, so I just dose them straight on. I use less molasses that way too. I give my does an additional dose of selenium even though my loose mineral has it in it. I give it orally, though. Not in a shot.
I'll probably give her molasses in a bowl of warm water, unless she shows signs of pregnancy toxemia or she won't take it.
As for the selenium paste, My two girls have it in mineral mix. Should I still give it as a paste?
Thanks! :D
An 1/8 cup of unsulphured molasses in a bowl of warm water goes a long way for a tired just-freshened doe. Not necessary to measure out but I wouldn't put too much.
I just give my does a good syringe (just a 2ml sized one) of straight black strap molasses, and a dose of selenium paste.
