    That baby really needs some experienced hands. Are you sure there isn't a Walmart in your area that would have the GM?

    Ensure would be better for now , please do not cut with pedialyte , she has had enough. Needs water.
    do you have any syringes and what size do you have

    we can get esbilac, but i want to know if that is an alright thing because i have heard two different sides about it. One of my neighboors raised six squirrels from newborn to adults with the esbilac puppy milk.

    I think due to the problems with diarrhea and Esbilac, it is better to use watered down Ensure for the moment.

    were you able to get the goats milk??
    I too am not trying to sound harsh....but 3 days on pedialite is way too long.
    He will do really well on the goats milk....he may need a bit more protein later on be we will worry about that then.
    Whatever you do....get some nutrition into this kid....pronto....
