    What is your technique for hoof trimming?

    I'm gonna get a fecal test done. If it does end up E Coli, I know I can use Neomycin, but what else works just in case I can't find this in stock locally?

    Baby goat has runny loose poop

    One, because the mixing instructions are 1 cup powder to 2qts water. It's not an actual cup of powder, it's one level cup of the one included in the package, 10oz I think, and I have no means of measuring ounces, so 2qts it is at a time. Two, because I have more than 1 baby goat. Anyway...

    One of my baby goats is due for its first CD & T vaccination tomorrow. I have the dose ready in a syringe that was prepared for me by the seller when I got the goat. I was told to pinch a little tent in skin, but I don't know how to use a syringe. Is there any way I can screw this up...
