Kid keeps escaping-now runny poo

[MamaDee]

I have an almost 2 month old Kinder kid who is penned with 4 other same age kids. She is the only one, but she gets out on a daily basis. Now she has runny poop. I am assuming that it's because she is eating the big girls alfalfa pellets, leaves off the barn floor and bits of paper towel or whatever else she can find. All of the other kids are fine.

At first I thought it might be cocci, b/c she frequently ends up in the big girls's pen and could be eating their poo. I was going to give her Sulmet, just in case, until I remembered that her replacer has a cocci preventative in it. So I don't want to do that, right?

Could it just be getting out and eating other stuff? She has and has had access to her own hay, grain and water--along with bottles. There has been no change in any of that--other than the fact that she escapes her pen every chance she gets.

I plan on checking it out more tomorrow to see if I can block her escape route somehow---she's jumping up on the hay manger and going out the bigger holes higher up in the fence. The bigger kids can't do this.

And, can I give her 5 cc's of pepto a couple of times tomorrow to help control her diarreaha?

Thanks,

Dee

We have friends that raise deer and they use metamusil {sp} for the babies. 1 tlb spoon to 8 oz milk. We raised a little doe deer here and she had a bad case of squirts when we got her. Pepto, and all the other meds did nothing but one dose of the metamusil did the trick. Good luck. Sam

You have them on milk replacer?

You have them on milk replacer?>>>>>

I know. Please no lectures. I don't think it's that. Everyone else is doing fine on it and she has until now. And I haven't changed the amount lately. The only thing that's changed is her escaping.
