[QUOTE="LisaW, post: 378434, member: 576"] Poop was solid, more like jello. The colostrum color, if you know what I mean. Pee was light color, not dark. So I'm thinking that scours isn't top of my list. I'm still concerned about the lack of sucking. The weakness is explained, at least at the moment, by the lack of feeding. But she's stronger today than yesterday and this afternoon than before I fed her again. We gave LA200 and are considering a boost of B Complex (works wonders in sheep). I'll feed her again this evening and hope for the best. Electrolytes are also another common on-hand item with the sheep. BUT I did only buy a small bucket of milk replacer. I don't intend to be feeding like this very long, a resolution needs to happen one way or another. And yes, I did give her probios on Sunday before we tubefed the first time. :) I have forgotten to mention that and I think you've mentioned it twice. [/QUOTE]
