4 am feeding took 45 minutes.
I am very surprised by this as it really did not seem like it took that long. 
Granted, when I thought we were all done pooing and peeing I got a bonus round.
A big bonus round.
But still, it did not seem like it took that long.
Will see how long non-bonus round feedings take today.

5oz of 50/50 goat milk to water - bottle ran out but he went to bed willingly.

Need to prepare bigger bottles for the ever growing buck, especially for the 4 hour apart nighttime feedings. 

Back to the yellow poo but not as runny as days of old.
Amount: medium

Poo smells again. I am hoping that is a good sign.
Could this mean that nutrients are passing through him, making the poo smell, because he now has extra nutrients in his system because the intestinal parasites are gone and therefore not taking all the nutrients???

Lots of pee.
Needing lots of help to get started, after bottle passed a lot of pee of his own accord.
I love it when he pees of his own accord.

Rained all day, no trips outside and no grazing.
Brought him grasses inside, but he did not eat any.
He ran around the house quite a bit.
He's getting very fast even on tile floor.

Today at 4pm is his last dose of medicine for coccidia.

Will watch odor of poo to see if it changes when he is done with his medicine. 


NOTE: Hide the bottle until after cleaning behind and getting to pee. He will sit still for some pre feeding pooing and peeing if he doesn't see the bottle. If he see's the bottle first it's all he wants and is antsy till he gets bottle and is impossible to wipe and get to pee. There will still be pooing and peeing while on the bottle even with pre-feeding pooing and peeing - just there will be less and it is much easier to clean.
