Thanks. She passed shortly after posting that picture. I wonder if the baking soda poisoned her. .

Hi, she's really declined again. I gave her Pedialyte for 24 hrs then switched to milk with a little baking soda. She had diarrhea and seemed overheated. She's crying and panting now. Any ideas?

Bless you @cassie ! I think that did the trick. She eagerly took a bottle of Pedialyte. She's standing now, zombie like but standing.

Hi all, there is plenty of milk from this kid's dam and another goat. She was doing really well for a couple of days, drinking 3-4 bottles a day, then yesterday stopped taking the bottle, and last night we had a cold spell, and today she is floppy and lethargic again. I've given her 1.5cc...

Ok thanks. The injured one was able to stand now. They slept a few Hours on an infrared hot plate between hay bales. Still not able to nurse. But looks like you were right she was in shock from cold earlier.

Ok I am doing that. Mom is trying to get the stronger one in position to nurse but the weaker one can't stand. just seems to be losing her life force. She can't hold her head up. I gave her a little b vitamins and selenium orally as well. Actually it seems now like she had neck trauma possibly...

Hi, this afternoon my goat kidded two kids. I found one under the RV in the barn, s/he had escaped the pallet enclosure and was sitting crying and a bit wet still. I put her back in the enclosure and dried her off. 10 minutes later I found her with her head and neck stuck between two pallet...
