Pen G, Tylans? Sick goat.

[babsbag]

I had a little doe drop on me last week...it was heartbreaking. I will never again inject without pulling back. Lesson learned.

Hi...I am new here....I am just trolling around learning SO MUCH!

I hope you enjoy your stay.

I am very sorry you lost your doe; it is always hard no matter how we lose one. I have a hard time with IM because of the pulling back part. I can grab a goat and "tent" the skin over the rib cage and inject easier and quicker than I can ever do IM. Usually when I do IM and pull back on the plunger the goat moves and then I am not sure I am in the right spot and have to pull back again. Major pain, for both of us I am sure.

Searching for answers. To find this is awesome . Not new to goats but new to modern goat raising. To find this thread is like finding Alden's lamp. I made this from stuff laying around.b It's not finished .Head catch needs to be better, and then fastened only to one side. then I can lay down the animal for foot care .
