Sorry I didn't respond, I was away from my computer yesterday! I meant lactated ringers solution. I haven't had to give propylene glycol yet, so I can't comment on that. I never hesitate to give lactated ringers though if someone's ill and much prefer to give fluids SQ than to drench. It's something I think everyone should keep in their medicine kit. I'm glad to hear she's on the mend!

Edited to add: 20kids- I followed your link and that's not the product I use. I keep the bagged LRS on hand (from the clinic): http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...05csegb&ref=3312&subref=AA&CAWELAID=552563502

No problem, thank you very much for your help.

We were out working around the goats tonight and Joy and I agreed that Hank and Penny are at 105% They've been eating like pigs, they're well hydrated, and bouncing around again.

Check out tonight's three-pound milking (again, 2-quart jars) and compare it with last night's!:

We are blown away by the changes in the last 24 hours. We honestly thought we were losing Penny yesterday. We thought we would keep this thread updated to give people hope when this turns up in a search someday. Cheers, Josh and Joy

SO glad everybody is doing ok.


* We had a neighbor throw cut cherry branches in the yard. I literally leaped the fence to get them out of there. I've never had to deal with any other toxic plants though and nobody ate very much.

Glad they're doing good!

Awesome! What a lovely sight, all that warm foaming white gold!

I did some running last year and pulled moldy bread out of a startled doeling's mouth and scooped up the rest of the loaf and tossed it safely back over the fence right at a startled neighbor. I wasn't thinking, just reacting. She never came back, to my knowledge. I'm glad my instincts are rude!

So glad your goats are recovering so nicely!
