Well feed samples went off to both WSU and the WSDA. WSU will run some tests, which they normally don't do but since they can't determine a cause of death they are going to try to continue to help us.
Today we also bought all new Timothy Hay (replacing the new grass hay we just bought), straw and are trying to supplement with fiber. We are also using gas removal drops to help clear up intestinal problems in the youngest ones. I am also adding Oxyfresh to the water to promote more drinking which seems to be working.
Each day we hope the worst is over and try to look at the bright side...natural culling, etc. but that is not always helpful and there are times when giving up seems like the best answer. (Certainly the cheaper option.)
Tomorrow is a new day and we do have a doe who is building a nest and we have one nestbox of 8 Cinnamon babies so there is hope.
