What you didn't know -Share to help others

I never heard of this, can you explain in a little more detail please? You use it to prevent shipping fever when you sell an animal? Sounds like miracle stuff!

I hope she replies with more details, but I know it's something a companion that my vet has had me give along with the antitoxin for enterotoxemia.

I added another must-have item to my medkit. ZINTET finally something that is working.
Footrot
I had been trying and working all the
old-fashioned remedies that always worked in the past clean it out really well use some bleach use some iodine wrap it up with lime, and nothing worked because nothing could stay dry.
I don't know how much the Zintet benefited from the fact that we finally got almost three days in a row it didn't rain or what. All I know is that I put that stuff on the second day that we were dry because that's when I got it from the vet. Within 24 hours a doe that hadn't put her left rear foot down in two weeks was walking on that foot. several others are also radically improving and will get another treatment.

Glad that you found something that worked!

Okay the idea of this thread is to share a condition, disease, ailment, something that happened to your animals that you wish you had known was possible or to watch for, or that you had been aware of the symptoms in time. A greatr treatment Maybe you were lucky in your animal lived or maybe you are like many of us, and you have a wall of tears for the animals that you lost because you just didn't know. Whether it's ammonium chloride for bucks and watching them pee once a week or being aware of anaphylactic reactions, ketosis, bloat, goat polio, a bad plant/hay issue, or whatever comes to mind will you share your stories? Because we really can learn from one another, and maybe it will save an animal from joining the wall of tears.

Dedicated to Echo my loving boy to whom I say I am so sorry I didn't know.
And to Bliss a fantastic doeling, crossword solver sip calculator epfo the best I had, that I lost for not trusting my gut. If a treatment won't hurt them, but could possibly save them do it anyway I listened to the more experienced who were not there . I was wrong, and I lost for sure by hesitating.

I’m still trying to figure out what I can do to help my situation. There is way too much snow and cold to be building outside right now and has been for a couple of months now.

Well, starting the evening of the 23rd I got my first introduction to Listeriosis. when the symptoms first appeared I started treating her both polio and the stereo says since I have experienced polio before, but know play exhibit the same or similar symptoms. I know you have to treat for both because you don't have time to find out which one you have. so she became a pincushion getting Thiamine and B12 in case it was polio, and massive doses of penicillin every 6 hours and daily dexamethasone in case it was listeria which is what it turned out to be.

unlike the loss of my great friend and beautiful herd Queen Ebony in November that broke my heart. I was blessed that little Jasmine lived.
it is a great reminder that animals can exhibit just the smallest symptoms that were fine hours before, and you have to be on top of it. She was just a little off at feed time not herself not pushing in to eat and the part of the group. Then later when I pulled her off by herself to feed her some more and observe her she started circling which immediately sent me running for the medkit. between the way she was pushed around and not eating and turtle lethargic when you added the circling to it I was off and running.

So glad that you were able to pull her through it.

two. I have to do everything we can, and thank the Lord who works. it is so crucial that people who understand that you have to be on top of it have to check them every day you have to watch her little changes. especially if you're going to have a chance at curing something with that high of a mortality rate.

I have got to the point I don't wait around for answers or diagnosis or sometimes ask for it later but I started because it's going off at half-time and frankly you know your animals best. that is the hardest part for me letting anyone care for my animals run gone for a few days something like this if not notice for 12 hours could have been deadly.

What problem are you seeing specifically.

Allowing Pygmy goats live inside your house is really not a great idea. I can't imagine how you take care of the filth.

You simply keep them in a large crate, have puppy pads down and change the pads as needed...I don't consider it filth, goat berries are much more pleasant than what humans defecate.....

For bottle babies, what @B&B Happy goats said and sometimes people put baby diapers on them. Not recommended to living inside permanently.
