[Jacob-list] Bottle baby questions and more

[Gotothewhip at aol.com]

Well.. My old ewe I posted aout last week didn't make it.  We  euthanised her 
on Wednesday.....Her twin lambs are doing well.. took right to  the bottle 
without question.  I had been so careful about overfeeding on  these guys,.. But 
made a mistake on my dilution when switching to a locally  avail milk re 
placer.....Anyhow.. the boys were getting too much milk.  Sat  afternoon, the 
bigger of the 2 developed pasty, then liquid yellow scours.   The smaller lamb was 
a bit pasty. I gave the big lamb 2 doses of Kaopectate  (3cc)  I put them 
both on Pedialyte and water only (no milk re placer) with  a bottle every 4 
hrs... alternating between a unlimited amt of water, and then 1  cup of pedialyte 
to each lamb  Their stools are still yellow, and are  beginning to gel up.
 
I gave them a single bottle of milk last night, with 1/2 the normal  powder  
and the full amount of water. 
 
Any advice of what works for you all?
