Possible she was due much later than you thought and she simply aborted. Hard to tell being you just purchased her. I am assuming the other doe kidded with a live or live kids. Many causes to an abortion. Also, could be the baby was just not developing correctly and it was full term, but...
You can get your 5 week old kids on creep feed to get them going better for an earlier weaning and to give mom a break. I don't find Ivermectin to be all that great of a wormer and not all that well rounded of a wormer. A white wormer like synanthic or valbazen may cover more problems. I am...
well, never had our stock yard mention a specific ear to tag in. so not sure about that. I would ask the stockyard or sale you sell at. WE do orange tags in a males left ear and white tags in a females right ear. That way at a very fast glance we can tell what they are and when buyers are...
We use farm tags, because the scrappie tags are hard to read form a distance and when we are looking at them all in a group we like to tell quickly who is who. Our farm tags are hand written and coded according to bloodlines. We put scrappie tags on all animals that leave the farm or they are...
I would worm her with a white wormer such as Valbazen or synanthic. and treat for coccidiosis and check her ketones, or drench her for 5 days with magic drench to see if that kicks her system back into gear. Of course no amount of magic drench is going to reverse a heavy worm load that is not...
no, we don't worry about Corid and Thiamin. I have not had a single case of polio on the farm in 15 years of using it. But I do follow the directions and only give it for 5 or 6 days, you can drench her with it as well, according to the directions.
If I feel the adults, especially 2 and 3 year olds are looking flimsy I will treat them extra, but for the most part we run the corid(Amprolium) in the water on a fairly regular basis in spring and summer. But I have seen adults for sure get thin or scour and respond to being treated with...
I heard more than one farm this year had problems with coccidiosis in their adults. We are all too familiar with it and we do treat, mostly in spring and summer on a regular basis for it. It is manageable, but annoying to say the least.
Sorry, I have not been on in a while. I hope he recovered.
1. Bring him in where it is warm and warm him on a heating pad or with warm towels from the dryer.
2. after warming and body temp is up to 100, access the situation closer, Anemia probably means worm load, dehydration ect...
