[QUOTE="Matersmom, post: 1300878, member: 24712"] So, I know that hard and runny or two words that contradict each other, but there is really no other way to describe his poop. I got this cap yesterday from a dairy farm, and he has had increasingly runny poop, but the last two poops that he is past have been running at the beginning, but then he starts to have and normal more firm poop after that. It's in the same attempt of pooping that these two different types of poop occur. Each time they are yellowish. I have done my reading about scours and all of that, but I just can't tell if this is that or something else. When he was at the dairy farm, he was on milk from their cows, and now we have him on a higher quality milk replacer. I expected that his stomach might get upset for a while because of the change, but I'm not sure what to make of these two different types of poop. He was ravenous the first day, and now he's down to drinking about quart and a half four times a day. The two feedings this morning when he drink that much, he had been drinking just fine, and had then started to poop, and had no interest in drinking again after he pooped. He is in great spirits, running and frolicking around whenever we let him out of his pen. He does sleep a lot when he is inside his pen. We have not gotten her out to him yet, or grain. But he does have access to water what to use seemed to drink a little of. Please help me figure out what to do. I don't want to lose him. I wouldn't be so worried, except he is our first bottle caps to raise. [/QUOTE]
