Weather goat 106.7 temp

SQ will be fine. It sounds like that's what the needles are for. When I was giving fluids to a sick dog he would just stretch out on the floor while I rubbed his head. Goat is probably not going to be as cooperative. Might be good to put him on the stanchion. As best I remember it only took about 15 minutes or so, but I can't remember if we did the entire bag at one time or broke it into twice daily...

It would make a big soft lump under the skin, but it would absorb in fairly quickly.

Fingers crossed that he's going to come around for you. If not, it's not for lack of you trying. You deserve a hug!

Thank you for that I am going to give that a try when it cools down a bit and every thing settles here. I dont really have a quarantine spot without putting the buck in with the doe in milk and her doeling should I do the SQ in the neck or shoulder?

I would probably give it up high on the rib cage sorta behind the shoulder blade. Also, make sure it's not cold when you give it to him - try to get it around body temp.

I don't think there's a need for quarantine.

Thank you

done 200 ml on each side tonight and 1 - 200ml in the am and 1 in the pm and vet says should help clear things up.

I worked myself up not wanting to hurt him and he didnt even flinch he just stood on the stanchion and ate his timothy grass.

Thank you for your prayers I will keep posting on his progress.
