Good to know- thanks!

Smokey

This is Withrow's Lucky Esme! I bought her today from my 4-H leader. She was Reserve Grand Champion Nubian and Reserve best udder at the California State Fair. She is such a sweetie and she's gonna make a perfect showmanship goat. So happy! :D

I was going to buy the cattle pour-on Cydectin but I saw that Jeffers carries a sheep oral drench Cydectin: http://www.jefferspet.com/cydectin-oral-sheep-drench/camid/LIV/cp/0030468/ . Which do you think is better to use on my goats?

Just don't go to him every time he calls. He'll get over it and grow up eventually.

Well, just wanted to say that the treatment worked.

Yes, thanks. Since they've only been off the bottle for about 20 days, they were still willing to take a bottle even though it was a bottle of water mixed with electrolytes. So I'll be doing that to keep them hydrated.

So for my 60 lb bucks, all they need is 6 cc of that mixture, once a day, for five days in a row? It seems like barely anything

Thank you!!

Thanks for your help. Will I need to repeat treatment after the first five days? Also I want to deworm them, can I do that at the same time or should I wait until the coccidiosis is all gone?

I see that the TSC here sells the CoRid 20% powder. Do you have an opinion on this one?

Man, I just looked on the bottle and what I have is expired! :( Where do you get Albon or Di-Methox?

It's dark brown. On the list there is a water soluble Sulmet. What I have here on hand is Sulmet in oblets (they're like tablets or pills), so can I just use that? Should I follow the packaging for dosage?

My two, 3 1/2 month old bucks have diarrhea this morning. They were not on a coccidia prevention plan and they haven't been dewormed yet, so coccidia is what I'm thinking. But they were just moved into a new pasture with new trees and forage to eat. Could that be anything? Other than forage...

I'm really sorry that you and your goat are going through this! I think you will just need to use your best judgement and if she is in too much pain or can't function at all anymore, decide when enough is enough and when you don't want her going through it any longer. I'm not sure how you are...

Never had to deal with it, but I know what it is. How severe is it in your goat right now? How is your goat functioning?

I'd separate them now to be safe because at this age, the buck could get the does pregnant if he wanted to. I mean it's less likely at this age, but I wouldn't take any chances.

I doubt it would encourage drinking because the stuff is sour and they don't generally like the taste of it.

My llamas always lay on the ground and they stretch out to look like they're dead :P . It's perfectly normal unless you also notice symptoms that suggest otherwise

x2 I had a doe who did the same thing. People sometimes call them "virgin milkers"
