[Jacob-list] Bottle Lamb

WOW!  Thank you all for the quick responses.. I guess you could tell I  was 
up fretting last night! 
 
I considered putting yogurt in there, but figured it would be too much on  
top of the Pen-G, Electrolytes, Pepto!  LOL!
 
I gave them each 8 oz of electrolytes at 5am this morning,,, The stall they  
are in does not get full light from the overhead lights, but it appeared that  
there was a bit of a more formed stool on the floor, and they didn't seem to  
have any fresh goo on their butts....
 
Im going to clean up their bums today so I can get a fresh look at what is  
coming out, as well as putting down some towels in their pen so I can see what  
they are pooping! 
 
I haven't coddled them like I would LOVE to... They go in a lambing jug at  
night and are out with the flock during the day.
 
The greenish stools worry me... and I am going to take a stool sample into  
the vet today ... I think I will go ahead and treat for Coccidiosis as I read  
that not all  are obvious on a fecal. Anyone have any suggestions on what  
medication, I see there are a few>
 
Also, They have access to lamb starter pellets during the day via my creep  
feeder.. they eat them pretty well... I also give a handfull of good leafy  
alfalfa each evening in their jug.. They have acess to that  in the creep  during 
the day.
 
I dont have a local vet who is proficient in sheep.. So all of your help is  
very welcomed!
