Our big doe had her kids. There are triplets, two bucks and a doe. All alive. I had to reposition the last two, as one of the bucks had his head turned back. I have read that you should put the doe on antibiotics after you go in her, to reduce the chance of a uterus infection. Would...

The BoSe came today. Now to give it. I weight taped the goats, one is 175lbs and the other 140lbs approximate. I have read that adult goats get 2.5 ml per hundred pounds. Has any one else given BoSe in a different amount? Will a 22 gauge needle work?

Right now we are watching him closely. So far he is active and his temperature was going down on Sunday. He eats and walks around. Only a small cough every now and then. No nasal discharge no scours. So far we have not given any meds. We have penicillin G on hand. How much would you...

So far they seem fine. We are giving them some sun flower seeds and alfalfa pellets. The BoSe is supposed to come tomarrow.

No, he does not have any any sign of scours.

We have a month old baby buckling. He is kind of thin. Sometimes he is breathing funny, like he has something in his lungs. His temperature is 105.2. He was shivering a little last night and sometimes he will hunch over a little. He still is occasionally active and when we brought him up to...

We give a loose mineral with their feed in the morning. We do not feed alfalfa, I will definitely look into alfalfa pellets. For sunflower seeds, do you give them with the shells on or not?

They are due any day. We put them with the buck at the end of September and took them out the end of January/early February. They are not safely on the five month since they were with the buck. We ordered BoSe but on Thursday from Valley Vet pharmacy in Kansas. Our vet just has to fill out...

Has any one used BoSe on goats going to kid in a few days? The only thing that made me nervous was the fact that it says on the bottle, do not use on pregnant ewes it may cause abortions. I haven't asked the vet about that yet. But when I researched online, it sounds like other farmers used...

Is it okay to give BoSe to goats that might kid within a day or two?

I took her to the vet, she had ring womb. The vet said she was too full of infection and a c section might not save her. The vet said her kid was dead and the most humane thing was to euthanize her. We euthanized her. This is the second case of ring womb I have had this week. We still have...

I have a 14 month old doe who is due for her first kidding any day. She has had pre kidding prolapse. Yesterday she had what looked like pink discharge by her tail. Sometimes I thought I heard her pushing but now I'm not sure. She feels very open. When I push on her skin just above her tail...

We took her to the vet yesterday, but it was too late. She passed away at the vet clinic. The vet was very kind and tried very hard to save her, but we brought her in too late. He said that she had ring womb and couldn't open up to have her kids on her own. He pulled the kids out. There...

Yesterday I contacted a vet. He suggested I give her dewormer, vitamin b injection, and later power punch (it has proplyne glycol in it) -I don't have any plain pg. This morning she was pushing but tonight she is not. She is definitely opened up, her udder is still kind of small, her sides...

The only vitamin B complex I can get until Monday is expired. Should I still try it? Would power up work like Gatorade. She has tried pushing a little but she has been whimpering for almost five days. She was born on our farm and has only kidded twice before. Each time she was fine, had no...

Around one o'clock I saw her walking by the water. She would nibble at hay around three. At three I gave her a huge dose of creamed corn, pumpkin, dextrose, calcium carbonate, corn syrup, goat power up, goat probiotic, brown sugar, and water. I also gave her at least 120 ml of water. Then...

This morning I gave her 20 ml of the magic and 4 oz of water. She is completely off feed and wouldn't eat the hay I put in front of her. I took her temp it was 101.8. She walks and gets up on her own, but still whimpers (or makes little noises like groans or something). I don't want to...

What does "dilating" mean? She has an udder forming. This is her third time kidding. Both times prior she had singles with absolutely no problems. She is Kiko/Boer/Fainter I think she makes more milk then some of our Boers but with both of her singles she never seemed to have an overly large...

Thank you frusturatedearthmother for the link. I was able to find some Nutridrench and I gave her a little over an ounce of it. It was very messy and she didn't enjoy it. I noticed she has lost some of the fat under her skin. She doesn't have all of the symptoms of pregnancy toxemia but she...

I have a almost three year old doe who is within a week of kidding. A few days ago I noticed her whimpering or kind of groaning and becoming less active. The night before last she was sitting down and the next morning she would still eat if you gave her her own pail of feed. Yesterday she...
