one of are doe went off feed she due in 7 days how much corn syrup should we mix for a 16 oz bottel
You can give a heaping tsp in that size bottle (I\'d think about getting a bigger bottle though). White sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, molasses, and honey have all been used. Propylene glycol, a fast-acting chemical sugar, is the most effective treatment. You can actually inject a sterile glucose solution under the skin if the doe really went downhill. (Let\'s hope it doesn\'t come to that.)

I\'d also recommend getting the doe out on the ground (preferably where she can nibble fresh grass) for 15 to 20 minutes per day. This alone seems to work wonders. Offer her hay, blackberry leaves (if you have access to them they are GREAT), apple...anything.

Good luck.
