The vet said to continue red cell daily for another two-three weeks, check famacha and do fecal weekly. If fecals are good we aren't going to worm again, but will continue fecal weekly for a couple weeks after that🤷‍♀️ She says that Olive's famancha should starting improving soon. I've never had...

We had the vet look at Olive's mouth. She had a thorn lodged between her gums and her tooth. We're not sure why it didn't abscess. As far as worming, we do use two classes of wormers, every 10 days for 3 treatments. Thank you so much to everyone who offered ideas. I greatly appreciate it.

Her worming has been completed. She got red cell for two weeks. I've started giving her b complex again with probios. Her color has improved a little, but not where I would comfortably call a 3. At milking, I offer her goat pellets in the feed bucket, then give her beet pulp in a bowl on top...

She eats beet pulp with the goat skin and coat. She is a calm goat and stands well while milking. She wouldn't eat any of the other things we've tried. It was suggested to me to try beet pulp last week with alfalfa pellets soaked. She refused to eat it with the alfalfa in it.
