They were also a severe emaciation (both eyes open and very mobile). We've done a smear, confirmed and treated coccidia and roundworm and finished that treatment with no improvement to the diarrhea, also did a week of metronidazole before the smear.
The last few days I tried Proviable probiotics and L-glutamine, since the smaller one wasn't gaining well, in the Esbilac. I've also tried a few days of Saccharomyces
Bring to the now emergency: As a last ditch I was trying to transition from Esbilac to goat's milk Esbilac and, in a moment of hubris, combined the two for my introduction, instead of just slowing intro-ing the goat milk. I made the two formulas and combined the fluids at 3 Esbilac: 1 Goat's Milk Esbilac, then 1 Esbilac:1 Goat's Milk Esbilac.
Now my projects that I love so much are vomiting curdled white yogurt. Big kid still wants to eat and just heaves every so often, little kid is bright if you handle her, but doesn't want to eat or be bothered. I haven't been offering more formula, just flavored Smart water which neither took me up on. They have water and soft Lab Rat Chow available, I Sub Q'd them when things started to go wrong.
SO any thoughts on next step? and also... don't anyone else combine these formulas! It's a bad idea!
Basically I've got some bad guts on my hands. My plan is no action till tomorrow (maybe more Sub Q), unless someone has a miracle belly-calming-get-it-all-on-track idea.
