Valley Ranch
Overrun with beasties
Hi All, hoping for some help here. We just rescued 2 toggenburg dairy goats that were in aweful condition. One is showing signs of a staph infection. Pimple type things all over her udder and groin. They have creamy heads, some are more scabby looking than others.
Anyway my questions are.........
1. can the staph infection be transmitted to humans?
2. can it be transmitted through her milk as I want to use her milk for a bottle baby?
3. how long should this take to heal up?
4. I have had different versions as to treat with antibiotics or not.
5. Should I treat with copper bolus to help her immune system? ( We live in an area that is low in naturally occuring copper and selenium and her food was grown locally)
Thanks
