have you had them checked for worm load??? Anytime I introduce my herd to anything new like a grain or a different type of hay I will do it slowly. My herd doesn't like change very much. When ever I worm any of my herd I will wait a day and then give them a oral dose of probios. This helps...

My herd has full access to about 4 acres of an old orange grove. They will start eating on them around November when they are just starting to get ripe and will eat on them until they rot on the ground. If I have them in another pasture for a while they will run back to there favorite trees as...

OK, First off I am not questioning what you are saying I am merely wanting to understand. What is the benefit for cutting off his pizzle? When I do this, do I use a nice pair of surgical scissors that are sterile? Will this effect his breeding in the future? I have a call into the vet...

My 1.5 year old Boer Buck seems to be laboring to urinate. He also is dripping urine almost half the time. I have free choiced his mineral since I purchased him almost 8 months ago. The mineral has AC in it as well. Is this normal? He also gets erections and is constantly cleaning himself...

Well, she seems to be doing well. Her hoof is nice and warm, and she is getting around on it well. I think she broke her bone next to the growth plate. Before I tried to straighten everything up I could feel her bone for straightness. It seemed to be just below the knee joint. I am going to...

I don't really feel I have the money the have a vet look at her. Last time I used the vet for anything for the goats it cost 160 bucks and accomplished nothing basically. Tom

I have some pen-g if that would help matters. The only thing right now is that her brothers are butting her away from mom's diner. Let see what happens there. I might give her some electrolytes in the am. Tom

Got home and there she was with her leg broken and swollen. It is broken below the knee. The bone did not break the skin. I took a wrap and straightened the leg out. Wrapped around about 4 times. Not to tight but snug. It is swollen. I cut a piece of PVC pipe the right length and then...

Most definetely a huge lesson learned from this.. Tom

Massey expired! We have a nice little 6.5 lb baby boy to bottle feed now.. Tom

she wont get up just yet. She sets with head half way up. I just gave her a 100 lb dose of banamine paste. She seems to not pant as hard. Since I should have given her 4 ccs of Pen g shouldn't I just wait till next dose and give her 4 at that time? I gave her drench and pen at 12:00...

I am not 100% certain that she has passed her placenta. So much stuff was coming out during the last baby retrival. She is not bleeding at all. I tried to be oh so gentle doing everything. I only made her scream twice. When I tried to get the head forward. THats when I grabbed the back...

Oh. Explain a uterine flush Tom

Massey is a Kiko/Boer. I went to TSC and got a fresh supply of pen-g. I gave her 3cc's. She weighs around 130. I also got her a nutridrench. I gave her 1 oz of that. When I went inside her both times I had on new gloves that had never been touched. I was very, very, very careful not to...

OK. My 4 year old doe had triplets. First she went into labor around noon yesterday. Her water broke around 3. She pushed and pushed. Around 8 last night I helped turn the baby the correct way and it came out. It was still born. Ten minutes later she had another. She got up twenty...

CMjusto: Sorry I don't want to beat this into the ground. But the package has information on mixing it for two different ways. For cattle is to add entire package to 1 quart of water. For sheep add entire package to 1 gallon of water for standard drench solution. Lets say I mix my...

I read somewhere but can't seem to find out where that it is 900mg/ml but I want to double check. Still searching Tom

Thanks for the replies thus far. The recommended dosages for sheep seem to be an acceptable amount in my opinion. I did the math on the 12mg/kg and that just seems like way to much to be given orally. I am not sure where this figure came about but I would like a second opinion on dosing. I...
