I'm picturing a kid (human) being hosed off in the yard! TOO FUNNY.

I did too, but I was trying to be polite. But it's a good idea when you have a kid (human or animal) who doesn't want to take a bath!

I use a medicated tar and sulfa shampoo (antifungal) with a little chlorhexidine (antibacterial) added for good measure. I'm sure it's completely unnecessary since we have never had major skin issues (knock on wood!), but I like to cover my bases all the same and it's a rare opportunity to do so.

where do I get this shampoo?

 

[SDGsoap&dairy]

I bought a gallon of Tomlyn Sulfa Tar shampoo from PetAgree that has lasted me forever. You'll find it anywhere that sells professional grooming supplies. I add the same diluted 3% Chlorhexidine surgical scrub (also bought a gallon) that I use for udder wash. Like I said- it's really not necessary unless your goat is having a fungal and/or bacterial skin problem but since our guys only get bathed a couple times per year I like to take the opportunity to give them a good medicated scrub.

FYI the (human) kids have been hosed off in the yard.... Yes it was cold water, and yes they totally deserved it. No need to be polite.
