[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1466574, member: 25884"] I am sorry to say that I cannot believe that you didn't read the bag and see that no where does it say MILK REPLACER. Yes, it is a miracle that she is still alive. You have overdosed her with minerals that normally should have killed her in those amounts. That is probably most of the reason she staggers and falls because her body has concentrations of minerals that are way over the limit. MILK REPLACER... all milk based 20% protein 20% fat, with no soy, as was posted early in this discussion, is the same idea as FORMULA for human babies.... it replaces the cows milk. And please, start her off with small feedings as her stomach will need to get accustomed to it. She will not have the beneficial bacteria to absorb the milk replacer right off the bat. Give her 1 liter or 1 qt a feeding for 3 or 4 feedings a day for a day or two at least to get her used to it. Do not be surprised if she winds up with some scours as her gut bacteria tries to readjust. She surely has a will to live, being still alive and able to get up and drink and all at this stage.
