Wendy,

You should be able to use Neosporin or A&D ointment (for diaper rash
-
it's
safe, just petroleum jelly (vaselin) with vitamins A&D added).

Did the vet check for worms? That could be what is causing the runs
- typical worms are round or hook. However they may have coccidia
which is sometimes very hard to identify. If they are old enough
start worming
them
for round and hook worms. If the diarrhea continues take another
sample
to
the vets and have them specifically check for coccidia.

I asked about worming them but the vet said they were too young. I
think the sulfadimet was to treat coccidia if the diarrhea didn't stop
or their was any blood on the stool.

Knock on wood I think they might be over the runs. They haven't
squirted since 5:30 this morning and they are all eating pretty well.
I did a web search and found where they recommended diluting the
formula for a few feedings. I started that last night. If they go
through till tomorrow morning with no diarrhea I'll gradually cut back
on the extra water. I'm not too worried at this point as they are all
eating and are playing and quite active.

Good job Wendy!
