Oh and if I give Pen G., do I use 20 gauge needles? How much would I give, twice a day?

Thanks

Good to know. I called my 4H leader and she gave me the phone number of a vet that gives her BoSe. So I'm going to call them up to see if I can arrange anything.

Wow. Thanks so much letting me know this. I was definitely nervous about overdosing but now I feel a lot better. Do you give one bolus to younger goats or do you break it up?

LOL yes For 10 dollars would you kiss a stinky pig on the mouth?

Thanks everyone for the replies. I definitely am going to look into giving my goats copper bolus.

I give the same loose minerals. I also supplement with Selenium/Vitamin E gel once a month because we have yet to find a vet who will give us BoSe.

Who gives their goats Copasure Bolus? We have never given this, but a local breeder suggested that we give each adult goat one 12.5 gm copasure bolus, twice a year. Would you recommend this since we live in a copper deficient area? We give our goats free choice minerals but the breeder says that...

Thanks so much! I looked up staph infections and thats what it appears to be. I also looked up the Chlorihexidine and the Hibiclens soap. They sell it at Tractor Supply Co. so we are heading to get it first thing tomorrow morning. For tonight, though, since it was already getting late, I just...

Please help! Just now I noticed that my 4 month old doe has blistery, bug bite-like, rashy bumps all over her teats. In between the teats it is raw and slightly oozing. Same with on the left side of her teats except it's more of an open wound. I don't how long it's been like this. She seems...

Sasha Kiki Everyone's thirsty

Thanks everybody! ^^ Haha :D . She's mine! ;) Don't you just love her though?!

My little goaties are getting so big! This is Sasha at 4 months old now. Sasha, Kiki and the "herd mom" Razz Kiki and Sasha. They're my spoiled baby girls. Everybody is thirsty on these hot summer days. Your left to right: Kiki, Sassafras, Smokey. This is Razz. She is the leader of the...

I think that sounds like they're in heat. Are they doing anything else weird (tail flagging, calling out constantly, etc)?

I'd say check for worms. My goat had a potbelly like that when I first bought her and it turned out to be a heavy worm load. I recommend getting a fecal and treating for worms. Good luck!

Ok phew! But man, that means I didn't need to throw out that bottle of CD&T! :barnie ;)

Yep :). I sold my two males because they were unfriendly (actually mean!) and didn't guard. This time I bought a trained female guard llama that is as sweet as can be! She might be pregnant and I know that they don't guard when they have a cria to care for, but my goats are locked in the barn at...

:lol: I figured. Just wanted to make sure, though. Thanks!

The bottle of CD&T says to use the entire contents when first opened, but doesn't it last for the booster shot in a month? I have always saved the bottle and used the same stuff for the booster shot a month after first using it and then I throw it away. I just noticed the warning, "use entire...

Thanks for the help. In case your wondering why I have so many questions suddenly, I just got a new llama and I'm making sure she is up to health standards :)
