        I think my jersey has a malabsorption issue and my thought was to mix some turmeric, burdock root, and nettle into her mix when we milk in the mornings. All I have right now is turmeric and she was NOT a fan of that this morning. Any suggestions? Should I maybe try just burdock and nettle since they aren’t as pungent?

          Does she have diarrhea? What are the symptoms?

          Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

            She did not have diarrhea. She seemed like she was losing weight despite our best efforts the get her to gain a little. She got a dairy grain mix in the mornings while we milked and at night along with alfalfa.
            She seems to be in better condition now, on the thin side but at least we can’t see all her ribs anymore (not sure if that is due to the thick winter coat).
