Well..I opened one up and I did not think that the pieces were that tiny! I thought that the pieces would be the length of the bolus to be honest.

I have 3 goats that should be pregnant and due in a months time. Anytime here in August, or early September. Can I do the copper thing with them too? I am nervous about doing this, I ordered the 12.5 copper bolus, so I take the rods out of the plastic casing? I do not want to over dose them...

Not sure how things are on your state but the only time young kids sell in my area is around May when the Spanish want them for. Cinco de mayo. All I have are unregistered goats and males are hard to sell outside of the auction house even when they have been banded. We usually end up waiting at...

Could I give her Zinc pills for people? I have some, would assume the same amount as a person seeing she is about the same size as an adult person? I also ordered the Copper Bolus things. We will see how that works out. I never heard about that till just the last few days. I am sure they have...

well, I am relieved that others do not think she looks too bad. I was actually appalled by her appearance, but, maybe I am overly picky. Anyway I did dust her and bought more fly spray for the goats. I will keep giving her flax every day to see what happens and with fresh minerals tomorrow, that...

Until I came here a few days ago, I have never heard of a copper bolus before. I think I need to do this to the goats as I am sure they have never had it ever. I have one goat that has always been sickly looking and half the size of the others, bottom of the totem pole and has gotten injured...

Lol, that was an awesome read! I also do not get aggressive with the livestock unless I have to, and I have had a rooster or two I have had to eat due to temper issues. I raise a few Dutch bantam chickens and the roosters are always snots, I keep one of the sons every year to replace the old...

oh and I buy flax seed by the 50lb bag for the chickens so I always have plenty of that. I gave her a few good handfuls tonight. she loved it.

LOL, the thing in the background is the goat stantion? (SP?) (people use them for milking too)that my husband built so that we can trim hooves off the ground. Its too hard for us to wrestly the goat (me over the goat straddling) and him on the ground trying to trim a fiesty boer. They love to...

No I have not used anything on the goats at all so it is not from anything I have added. The goats do have minerals, but when it rains, rarely, it gets wet so I washed out the containers for new tomorrow. We get very little rain usually, our climate humidity here in Northeastern Colorado is...

Well, I was just asking as to why you would use a medicine labeled as a pour on as an oral med. Does not make sense to use as it was not intended on the packaging. I still believe that its a old age thing, I do not really feel its a bug problem as there has NEVER been one here in my goats, and...

you wouldn't just "pour on" the pour on? Why, if thats the way its supposed to ge administered?:/

I do not have a MAJOR problem, but I do have a 9 year old doe that is a pet. She is a Toggenburg, and just the last month or so, has very thinning hair on her back hips and neck. The neck I suspect is from rubbing on the feeder, but wonder if this could be from just plain old old age? She is...
