regarding: >> Message: 3 I had a bottle lamb a few years back that scoured for the first 45 days of her life. I tried everything under the sun except guava but I would have tried that too if I had known about it. Nothing worked. I found a product online and thought what the heck I'll give it a try. Two days after using the product the lamb started making pellets, and to this day has never had a problem. The product is called Scoursguard for lambs and can be ordered from www.theholistichorse.com. Just click on the sheep tab and you can read all about it. I really urge you to give this a try.
Dayna Denmark Half Ass Acres .>>>> I ordered some yesterday, and it's not going to be here till Monday. Meantime, Pepto was working on the almost 4-week old healthy girls, until I started letting them out for entire days with our green, super-wet grass we already have growing like mad in northern California. Now, I am thinking I might limit their time to an hour in the evenings....Right now, the bottle-punchers are back in jail, with some dry alfalfa and their normal milk/formula mix (which they were getting when out in the pasture, as well, of course). The 7-week old goat kid dried right up with some Pepto and the green grass. I'm thinking she's simply older and more capable of digesting, now. And yes, Barbara, the Guava "nectar" I bought has a ton of corn syrup in it, so I am limiting what Bam Bam gets. The Pepto has greatly increased his appetite, mood, temp, and is slowly firming his stool up. Barely any more hunched look, standing more, starting to climb the fence, and punches under my chin for milk. I no longer give him Sub-Q and vit-B shots, since he's nearing a good 14oz a day (he's still a bit over 4 lbs only) If i find an actual guava, I'd be glad to throw it in our juicer. here's hoping the Scoursgard shows up sooner.
