    Thanks so much guys... sounds like we are doing everything right. I gave her some electrolytes today. This evening she was ready for some milk! I did notice she had drank quite a bit of water today, but I will keep an eye out for any signs of scours! With my two year old, we are out there...

    God Bless you! LOL... I was beginning to think she was on the verge of dying and no one wanted to break the news... I caught her grazing the pasture today and she took some hay from my girl. Thanks for the much needed reassurance :)
