It's probably worth it to have their selenium and copper levels tested. It's easier than you'd think to overdose them. :idunno

Um...not so much. Have you ever HAD one's copper levels tested? Did you know it requires a liver biopsy? And selenium...yeah...I wouldn't triple dose the injectable or anything, but still...it's pretty darned obvious when you need it.

It's just not as scary as you make it out to be, as long as someone can follow directions and record each dosage so you don't redose forgetting you already did it or something...you're good.

*and yeah...I did that once...and guess what? The silly goat was fine :p whilst I had a heart attack daily for a month*
