That's good to know. :thumbsup

Thank you so much for all the responses! I went ahead and got the 500 mg chewable and am giving it morning and evening. I will say, she is not a big fan.... She's not squeaking as much and actually has a sound coming out. I did dose her and her mom with ivermectin just to make sure she...

Okay thats what I thought. I just wanted to make sure. Oh dear. That's good to know :lol:Wow, now I can only think about how uncomfortable that would be for the goat....

Yeah, she's usually very noisy when she's hungry. I often wonder if I will go deaf one of these days.....

Is there a specific brand of vitamin c that is better or that I need to avoid? For the thermometer, this is probably a sill question, but would I use it under the tongue?

This is what the discharge looks like this morning. Still had a great appetite but just made a squeak sound instead of her loud call.

This may seem like a weird question..... One of my goats started losing her voice. I was out of town over the weekend and when I got back, I noticed her calls were very quiet but rough (she is by far my loudest goat:idunno). My brother said he had noticed she would cough, but I haven't heard...

I totally forgot to do an update picture. This was from the beginning of April. It is doing even better now. I'll have to get a more updated one.

Oops! I sure hope the parasites aren't immune to the Ivermectin. I stopped the wormer and I'll see if I have yogurt to give her. How long will I need to add it? I thought I would put a picture of my mamma goat on here😁 I was told she was a kiko, but I am not so sure. Her babies definitely...

Okay, wanted to do an update. Finally was able to get Listerine and also picked up a milking stand (such a game changer!!). I have used it 3 days so far and her back legs are already looking less irritated. Still a little ways to go, but she is definitely doing better. Regarding the...

Would this work?

That is good to know about the minerals. I started them with the loose, but thought they needed the block. Glad I have both to give them. This feels like a silly question, but, is there a particular place/website that I can look up my area to see if it's deficient?

@Mini Horses Okay, I am looking at different types of Ivermectin. Is there a particular brand you use and if it says use for cattle, is that okay, or is there one for goats? I will definitely try the Listerine. Would you recommend using it full strength or dilute it?

I just got my location updated. Thank you for pointing it out. I forgot that part :thumbsup Man, now I feel guilty. It's been so miserable and wet, that they have not wanted to come out of the shelter and so I have been just feeding them up there. I wish I had looked sooner. I am pretty...
