Now she has a runny nose...
And decreased appetite. She took 3 ounces of her bottle this morning, but had been regularly polishing off a 10 ounce bottle. I'm talking about Yolanda, my 4 week old black Angora bottle goatie baby. She is still taking her Corid, but today will be the last day for that for a while. Suggestions, please? Sage did say she sneezed after her bedtime bottle last night.

She found that to be quite humiliating, but her temp is 102.5.

What else is she eating? Could she be filling up on hay or other feeds. How many bottles a day is she taking?

We give her alfalfa and lamb/kid pellets, but she didn't eat any last night or this morning. I have not seen her sample the hay as of yet. She takes four bottles a day.

With all of the temperature fluctuations lately she could be coming down wit pneumonia I suppose. Do you have nuflor or any antibiotics on hand?

I have Naxcel that I was thinking about giving her, but wasn't sure since her temp is normal.

If she has a foreign substance in her lungs she may not have a temp at first. Could she have aspirated some milk during one of her feedings. Sometimes our children do not always hold the bottle as well as they should.
