How much BoSe?

[canadianmandy]

Hi everyone

Would anyone have any advice on how much Bose to feed a 8 day old kid?

The vet said 1/3 cc once a week. The same vet had me feed 1/2 CC per day to my lamb for seven days...wait a week and repeat.

This lil kid is barely standing, just long enough to do her "business" then she plops down again.

Thanks for any help

Feed Bo-Se???? Bo-Se is an injectable. I give it at the rate of 1 cc per 40 lbs. Give it as a shot & you may see some improvement.

Hi there

Guess the word feed is not the most appropriate It all ends up in their lil systems..some folks are fed intravenaously too, sorry if the post confused anyone!

For a baby goat...9 days old...possibly 5 lbs...would they only need once a week or once a day? That was more what I was looking for in my question.

Thanks for bearing with me,
Tamar
