I'm sorry for your loss. Agree with cassie that baking soda definitely would not have been the problem. When goats go down, they go down super quickly. You did what you could.

Try switching back to electrolytes and see if that helps. It is possible that she has something else happening internally with her organs....

There's next to no goat meds in Canada, so that is really cool to know. Is there a specific GasX that you use (max strength vs extra strength for example)? And specifically the tablet version?

Thank you for the explanation. I can definitely understand fresh milk from a cow, but in my opinion generic pasteurized milk in the store is nowhere near as great. I've also never seen a goat on powder version milk replacer have the problems you're speaking of, but granted I have not raised...

I know you can make homemade milk replacer with whole cows milk from the store in a pinch, but I've only ever seen recipes that involve adding goats milk, yogurt, and condensed milk, not just milk alone to get the fat and protein content needed for goats. Can you elaborate on the "safer" aspect...

I've heard of a trick where you feed the doe some of her own milk to help with mastitis, but I think it depends on the type.... you can also try a warm compress on her udder (possibly epsom salts and some people use peppermint oil but I can't really recommend that?). Is there any sort of gunk...

What kind of nipple are you using? If you put a finger in her mouth are you getting a sucking reflex?

That's good. Is she at least able to drink from a bottle?

At this point just try and keep her warm and give her colostrum. If you can I'd call a vet for advice but I know not everyone has a goat vet handy.

You'll want to milk the goat and bottle feed the kids if they can't reach her teats. Colostrum is important and they need way more than a few cc's of it, so if you can milk the mom to get all of that super thick goodness out, that will be best. It's vital for them to have it in the first 24...
