I tried offering baking soda, but Petunia wouldn't have it. I've used Pepto Bismol for diarrhea, but she doesn't have diarrhea so I didn't think of using it. She's only "gone" twice today, but both times it looked perfectly normal. I let her outside to do her business about an hour ago, and she seemed happy to be back with the other goats at first and helped them attack a hay bale. I thought maybe she was on the upswing, but half an hour later she was standing by herself and shivering again. So now she's back on the blanket by the wood stove. Is there a way to force-feed baking soda? Or should I just give her the Pepto Bismol? I also have Tums tablets if she'll eat them (they were a favorite last year at the State Fair show).
