I have a first time mom that kit's got diarrhea at 48 hours old. They were very dehydrated looking. Their bellies were full but very wrinkled hanging skin. I wasn't sure why the kits had diarrhea. The day before I fed the kits some nigerian goats milk because I felt like they looked a little skinny and just wanted to supplement them a bit. I thought maybe this was the cause. I also thought they might have gotten too hot in the Florida weather. After I noticed the diarrhea on day two I brought the kits in AC and stopped the goats milk. The next 36 hours I fed the kits twice a day on 2 other does I have in milk. The diarrhea completely cleared up and that night in the cool weather I brought them back to their mother. The next morning they had diarrhea again. Has anybody ever had a doe's milk give their kits diarrhea? I have never had this happen.
