Re: [AlpacaTalk] 6.8 lb cria 4 days past due Help!
"A high quality colostrum supplement, plus an effective appetite
stimulator containing special proteins, vitamins and lactic
acid-producing bacteria in an easy-to-use syringe. The syringe contains
2 doses and provides a quick and easy solution to getting newborns up
and nursing as soon as possible. Give as soon after birth as possible."

I gave the new little one a dose before she had nursed as we had her
under the blow dryer. It may have delayed nursing from mama by a few
minutes, but it gave her the energy to get up and around.
Many feed stores will carry it and/or Nutri-Drench
"Goes to work fast! Use with weak newborns, ketosis, scours, pneumonia,
twin, etc. Formulated to put glucose, vitamins, trace minerals and
amino acids into the bloodstream within minutes. Specially formulated
for sheep and goats that are off of feed, newborns and kids. Administer
1 oz. per 100 lb."

We get a whole lot of our farm supplies from Valleyvet, they have
really great prices and free shipping on many items. Jeffersvet and
Horse.com are two other online retailers I recommend.
