[Jacob-list] How much to feed bottle-fed lambs?

[Jason Anders]

Good Morning:

One week ago we had two lambs born that were rejected by their mother.  It seems 
that she didn't have enough milk and by the time we found them, they had gone 
probably 5-6 hours without feeding.  We feed them colostrum and kept them 
going.  We are now feeding a kid goat milk replacer recommended by our vet but 
are having a hard time knowing how much to feed them.  They are having runny 
stools although seem to be doing OK.  We are feeding about 4 ounces every 6 
hours and also giving them some anti-diarrheal medicine.  Any advice out there 
would be very much appreciated.  We have never had to bottle feed before.  
Thanks so much!
