Is SafeGuard wormer safe for my pregnant doe?

[Hipshot]

All tings considered all is well more or less . All kids are alive now . Three of the four are being bottle fed . The doe is getting up and walking on her own, One of the two doelings almost died .Wasn't getting to nurse enough . We found her cold and dying when we went to feed the bucklings their first bottle .I was sick I was sure she was dead . My wife tried to get her to nurse while I fed the bucklings . I just knew it was hopeless . So I have to tell you about what an amazing person my wife is when it comes to saving baby animals . She was having a awful day. I didn't even call her about the bucklings .But she jumped right in and started trying to save the baby. She brought the dying doling in the house .Even she was sure she was going to die. So what started at dark and ended at midnight was nothing short of a miracle. At least to me . While she worked with the baby I fetched. I was digging through cabinets. Looking for what she wanted most of which was very old ,and let over from when we raised bottle calves. Many years and the baby little by little

looked like this at midnight head was shaking and still wouldn't nurse . We were feeding her with a 6cc syringe . What ever we could get down her . Well colostrum was what it was . by nine this morning

She will kill me when she finds out I put this picture on here . I have never know anyone with the touch she has . In my eyes she has no equal. This baby had given up . But she wouldn't . Now I have a spoiled baby goat in my house . Bed room to be exact.

Top is the little doling at birth middle is her dam and twin sister last is the doe that has been down for a week Like I said she is getting up on her own and walking around . Won't nurse Bucklings though .

Top is the first born doling second is the little hose goat and her bed buddy .Wife's ideal bottom two the little bucklings. hard to take a picture and hold a bottle . they are very aggressive eaters . And the big doe has lost one side of her udder to mastitis At some point in her life . So couldn't produce enough milk in her poor condition . I should have taking the doling when she kidded . She favored the first born .

Awww. That made me tear up a bit. There really is something when you do all you can and hope beyond hope... I do believe in miracles! I do believe that some are gifted as well.

I guess you all already know but in case others reading this don't know... always get kid up to temp before trying to feed. Never feed a cold goat. ---- Your wife must have done a heck of a job warming the kid!

Glad these goats have you all to care for them. You may want to consider that redcell for the weak doe.
Don't know if you've ever used it before. We keep a jug on hand. Red cell (for horses).

This just makes me so happy! I can't even explain. Just happy!
Very pretty kids too!

Now that i can see through my tears, just want to tell you both how happy i am that you not only saved these goats once....but twice. There are three things i just love, puppy breath, baby goats, and people with big hearts for animals....you guys are wonderful wishing you much enjoyment with this herd that you have saved.

See -- your wife was annoyed at YOU, not the goats!!!! I LOVE the happy ending for that little one. Colostrum is a magical potion!

So happy for you and especially those goats.


YES-- I like direct answers, also. As SBC says, it's different when someone whose farm, animals, methods, person you know asks. You can almost KNOW what has been done, is there, etc. We all appreciate vets are expensive and sometimes iffy. A farm must be able to survive "on their own" for most things. Hey, I understand...am there, also old , do what I can/need 50 yrs with animals, pretty much done it all. Even C-section on a goat!

ETA: Do you realize that if the previous owner couldn't get around to care for these does that pretty much every kid would have died??? You save so many lives!
