It's injectable Selenium / Vitamin E and is vet RX only.
We're in a selenium deficient area.

Here she is Day #80 Let me know if you thinking looking good, bad or just OK. I think she is looking good. I tried to get the private parts picture, but she would not cooperate. Her udder is just starting to grow. Her teats are a nice size. Think I will have no problem milking her.

Nina is a very nice looking goat. Very good picrures. She does have nice looking teats. I think she is going to have a great udder. Nice and straight with very milkable teats. She a a pretty girl. It looks like her pregnancy is progressing nicely.

You can give her Selenium Tablets crushed up with some Vitamin E capsules melted in hot water and mixed in with molasses. It works just as well as a shot. (You would need to give her 1000 mg. of Selenium and about 8 capsules of Vitamin E.)

Or you can buy Selenium/Vitamin E gel. (you can order it from Jeffers or Hoegger or ENasco.

My goats LOVE the gel. Once one gets it, she runs to the others getting theirs and tries to steal it. I think next time I will squirt the dose on some bread and feed it that way. It's much less stressful on you and the goats over a shot. Good luck!

Her Udder is coming in nicely. So far, nice and even as it grows.

Her private parts. So in this picture, the bump on her right is baby, correct? Her rumen is on her left correct?

I believe rumen is on the goat's left side and baby on the right.

That is why I say "I believe it is ...... " Because I get confused on that everytime, I get my left mixed up with the goat's left when I am facing them. :lol:
