we moved Maggie and the 2 bucklings into our shop, we will be calling our vet 1st thing tomorrow when they open and most likely have him stop out. I will keep everyone posted as to what we find out.

Also, Duramycin stings like crazy. If you can get Bio-mycin it is well worth the little bit more that it might cost. The dose is 5cc / 100 lbs so you would need a little TB (1 cc) syringe to do a goat that small. You give it subQ every 48 hours. If my math is right you would be giving .1cc to a two pound goat

okay, thanks for that information! I will see what we can do.

How are they doing this morning?

 

[Hens and Roos]

They seem to be doing okay, up and nursing.

Spoke with our vet just a little while ago and he recommended that we give 1/2 cc Pen G once per day through Sunday. Of course continue to monitor temperatures and weight and call if anything gets worse.

Looks like you were already on top of it all

thanks, we try hard but is always nice to get another opinion/help!

Very good

Glad they are doing well. It is funny how different vets have their "go to" meds; mine always gives duramycin for respiratory and uses Pen G when we have an abscess or laceration, or after an assisted kidding. I seldom even ask her any more as I know what she will say.

But the important part is that they all get well and stay well so whatever works, right?

my DD and I gave them the shots...had to watch Utube so we were doing it correctly(normally DH has been giving shots). Let me tell you, there isn't much skin on these little guys but we did it!
