Cocci Prevention / Treatment Thread

[DonnaBelle]

I'm glad you took time to explain to Hillsdale, Em.

I took my Annie in to have a large abcess lanced by my terrific vet. He prepared me for CL. He thought that's what it was.

He cultured and sent it in, and it was NOT CL.

He is young, and he's still learning. But he is WILLING to learn. That's the big plus in his favor. What I don't want is some know it all who can't accept he might make a mistake.

I took an article about CL I got off the internet yesterday. He took time to read and discuss it with me. That's what I appreciate.

Hillsvale - Totally understand and agree with your point on "on line" treatment of your herd. Its not very responsible to treat your goats thru on line support only. But I want to let you know...I have gotten more education from the goat farmers in my area, practical experience and people on this site, than my vet at times. (Who is a large animal vet) Its the old addage that people who tend goats everyday seem to have more practical experience and knowledge than people who soley are book smart on goats.

IE...My husband disbuds our goats and does a fabulous job. Been doing it for a long time. He never went to school for it. Learned it from a dairy goat farmer whos been tending goats for 35 years. We never had a scur issue. Except for goats we got from other farms. Anyway, He injured himself this year and was unable to do the disbudding. Called my vet. He's a large animal vet we thought... he should be able to do this just fine right? Well Hmmmm...low and behold my bucklings have scurs and will be having surgery to correct my VETS error. They will be going to another vet who has his own goat herd. Which makes me feel so much more confident in him cuz he tends them daily. Dont get me wrong. I like my vet and he's has helped us in many ways. But he's never the end all for me when it comes to treatment, herd management etc. He serves a purpose cuz he has that degree...lol...and a rx pad!! ha ha ha!! Kidding...but I think you get my point.

So I think thats what everyone was kinda trying to put forth to you. Just cuz they have a degree...dos'nt mean their on top of thier game and doing the best they possible could for your herd. I hope you dont take offense at all. Just trying to show you from expirence the people with degree's are not ALWAYS the ones with all the answers. Be open minded! One thing I can be sure of is goatie will through all of us for a loop now and again now matter how many degrees you have or how many years you herded!!!

Be well...happy herding!!!

PS I love Nova Scotia...beautiful place to live Im sure!!!

So since I started this thread I might as well put the dimethox dosage here...

Di-Methox: 1cc per 5# on day 1, 1cc per 10# days 2-5 for prevention.

We use it at the rate of 2 oz(premixed liquid) or 1 1/2 teaspoons powder per 5 gallons of drinking water, this must be the only source of drinking water. If pastures are wet, you have to treat by hand, since they wont be drinking enough.

oral dosage for us is: liquid 1/2 cc per 10 lbs of animal twice a day.

for atleast 5 days

Here is my mixture if i go out and find a kid or young doe actively scouring, and I suspect coccidiosis:

1cc penn G per 15lbs body weight injected

either corid or sulfa-dimethoxin mixed
1-4 ounces of kaolin-pectin, depending on the size of the animal.
1 oz =30cc
and spectam-scour gaurd for pigs

I do all this until the scours let up, twice a day, then when the animal is no longer scouring,

I continue with the cocci treatment and Penn G twice a day.

Normally the scours let up in 24 hours.

Liquid CoRid 9.6% (undiluted) @ 2.5cc/10lbs for 5 days It is listed along with other meds we use on my blog for anyone who may want to look.
