It's tricky when they are still nursing and still with their littermates and momma Can you put momma's pellets out of the kit's reach? I believe such cases of enteritis are brought on by the kit suddenly consuming inappropriate amounts of a solid food, pellets or grain being the usual offenders.
You're doing the right thing making hay available - my preference is grass hay at such times, but stemmy alfalfa would also be fine. Large flake (old fashioned) kitchen oatmeal like Quaker is the best thing to feed alongside the hay... If you can limit the kit's intake of solids except hay, so much the better. If you usually use water bottles, add a crock - it encourages easy drinking. You could add two crocks and put electrolyte solution in one.
Good luck with the kit... Hope the others stay okay.<br /><br />__________ Mon Mar 29, 2010 8:40 am __________<br /><br />Just came back from HT where I saw your post about the new feed, CH. There may be a connection between this new feed and the digestive problems your kit is experiencing. The transition from momma's milk to pellets is tough enough for kits... If this feed is harder to digest for adults, it may be the source of your kit's problem. Just a thought.
When you hit a problem with animals, always look for the thing that has changed. Most of the time, that will be connected to the problem.
