Congrats on the cute kids.

I'm so sorry about Nissan. I do have a question though. I was talking to my vet last night and he said after 3 days to switch to Estrumate because of the cervix closing. Why not try Estrumate or Lutalyse? Also do they put "permanent" catheters in goats? If you could get the cervix open, then insert the catheter that stays in until you are done with the meds, then you could put antibiotics directly into the uterus along with shots of Pen G.

Hi Kim,

sorry to hear about Nissan, I hope everything turns our ok, she's definitely got the best person in her corner helping her.

We just love the babies although it's hard to be excited right now with Nissan not feeling well. I just spoke with Amy, we'll be up Saturday to pick up both of them.

Thanks so much!

I asked about giving her lut myself. He sort of poo-poo'd the idea.
:idunno

I hate to think that we're leaving something in there....

It's not a huge problem getting the tube into her uterus to flush it, now that I know for sure it *is* her uterus. We're flushing it w/ antibiotics / saline.

I'm leaving for work now, my dh will be baby / Nissan sitting for me until I get home. I'll update tonight.

Thanks all.

She's still hangin' in there. Quite vocal tonight...and peeking at me over the feeder. She hasn't done that since before she kidded.

My boss raises cattle, he offered me some Lut. I'm supposed to pick it up tomorrow.

I'm on the fence...I'm wondering if cleaning her out w/ Lut would be the best course of action, or should I just stick w/ what we've been doing.

Someone push me off the fence one way or the other??
