Her vet does not know much about goats. She told her last night after giving her a shot of steroids and antibiotic..to let her alone for the night and see what happens.
Her vet did not even recognise the bloat??? Hello!! She should of in the least caught the bloat and treated.

Personally..Im not a fan of oral drench. If I can inject it and get the same result...its the way I go.!! And its aspiration that I always worry about.
Its always quicker and easier on the goat in my expirence to inject it. A quick shot rather than trying to shove something down the goat...
