Milk to body weight ratio for bottle babies / small breeds

[KristinS]

For a little (probably around 2 week old, but not 100% sure) orphan goat baby, how much goat milk (pasteurized) do I feed per day?

She now weighs just over 5 pound and is most likely a small sice goat (Nubian mix as suggested by the forum...).

I want to make sure I don't overfeed, so please help?!?

(For those that didn't follow my last post, she received milk replacer till yesterday and that gave me instructions on amounts, but I guess it is more concentrated than actual goats milk?)

Is there something like a weight to milk ratio or so that I can follow?

Thanks so much in advance,

Kristin

I would give the kid a 6 or 8 ounce bottle of milk 4 times a day..if it fusses then take the bottle away at less milk. . That means through the night too...With fresh hay and a little sweet feed to play in and learn to nibble on. It might mean bringing the little one into the house near the wood stove for another week or 2.. Good Luck..
