Artificial feeding powdered milk or cow's milk, goat's milk. Use a child's bottle to feed, the mouth of the nipple is bigger, to a small amount of meals, the first 4 times a day each time 100 ml. 2~3 days later, the amount of times gradually increased, and finally increased to 400mL or so when changed to 3 times a day, and then with the grass to feed. This way to 1 month and then changed to 2 times a day, each bottle. Then it depends on the situation slowly stop milk. Probably need 200 pounds of milk per lamb a ****.
Won't suckle: Cows and sheep are standing lactating animals, i.e., in the process of breastfeeding ewes and lambs are kept in a standing position, and lambs also need to tilt their heads and necks up to hit the ewes' udders with their heads in order to suckle smoothly. This places two minimum physical requirements on newborn lambs: (1) limb strength (ability to stand). (2) Neck strength (to be able to tilt the head up). But for the newborn lambs with poor physique do not have the above requirements. Therefore, in the clinic, we often see newborn lambs are called "can't eat milk" cases, in fact, these newborn lambs are not can't eat milk but because of the weak body can't reach the above physical strength requirements and can't eat milk by themselves. When a person puts a finger in the lamb's mouth from the corner of the mouth, see if you can feel a clear sucking action, if not, there is no therapeutic value directly eliminated. If you can show that will eat, you can use the following methods of treatment: 1. 50% dextrose injection 5mL, through the syringe (remove the needle) from the corner of the mouth into the mouth of the lambs, with its swallowing action slowly push the syringe to make its oral. 2. Complex Vitamin B injection 1mL (or vitamin Bl1mL), vitamin C injection 1mL were intramuscular injection. The vast majority of weak lambs after the above measures can be rescued in 1 ~ 2h to eat milk, if still will not eat milk can be added to the artificial assistance after half a day to eat milk on their own. If you still can't eat milk, you will need to artificially feed them.
