I have a doe that just had babies on the 24th. She wasn't eating much before her due date (she did go 2 days over) but after having them, she started eating about 3/4 cup of pellets plus some oats a day. She seemed normal last night but this morning I noticed that she was perched on top of the nest box and didn't run away from me (she is my "nervous nelly"). No food (including oats) touched. I noticed some very soft (not cecals) poo on the cage wire and when I took her out, she was very lethargic with a wet bottom. Wiped her off and gave her a tube of Benebac. Put her back with a water bowl and she was sipping at that a few times.
Unfortunately, right now I'm not able to go out to get anything that I don't have on hand. What should I do? I can syringe her some water as often as I can, but should I add anything to it? Is pure canned pumpkin okay for diarrhea? I don't have it right now, but can get some in a few hours. Very worried. The babies are fine, I have two other nursing does who don't mind taking care of them, just worried about the doe.
