My vet also wants PenG to be given IM. I HATE IM SHOTS WITH A PASSION. I guess it can go sub Q but doesn't work as fast, or so I was told. I give everything sub Q except Lutalyse and fortunately I have only done that twice.

over the weekend, we were able to get the microscope and computer to work together so I was able to take some pictures of the fecal we looked at. Hoping to run another and see what is there.

we aren't sure but think this is a brown stomach worm(only saw 2 of them on the McMaster slide)

Looks right but it is very difficult to tell from a picture as opposed to looking through a scope. You also have another "egg" on the green line... too hard to tell looks almost folded like a tape but is not the right shape. Shape is similar to coccidia - I cannot see it clear enough.
2nd pic looks like pollen
3rd pic is not focused in enough. sometimes you need to really dial it in which will "blur" your air bubbles in which you get your baseline.
I cannot tell if anything is inside or just a circle of something.
Same on 4th pic

Does your scope have a pointer?

Kids look great.
Sorry I didn't get back sooner H&R just been so busy.:)

Our scope does have a pointer on the eye piece but these pictures were taken when the digital eyepiece was hooked up....it's taking us a while to get the hang of making it all work together!

totally understand about being busy ;)....never enough hours in a day to get the list done!

we are really happy with the kid's progress....we could sit for hours and just watch them being silly! Extra sleep would be nice too ;)

Moose is so cute!! We need to do a 'baby swap' xD. I can't believe how small they are :ep They're like the size of our bucklings when they were first born! MAYBE!(That's still pushing it, lol.)

Lol...Moose and Monkey are the human kid's favorites, they will be staying. All the boys will not be staying as they are related to Obie's doelings as well. We will need to use a non-related buck for breeding-still haven't figure things out that far :\

This afternoon, DH, DD(15) and DS(13) worked on tattooing rabbits and goats.....of course a couple of the letters decided to break when they got to the last 3 goats :( so I have to see if I can get some replacement letters tomorrow!

It looks like we have some aliens in the herd now :lol:, hope it wears off before fair in 9 days :hide
