Loving the herd life
It's prescription only though right? Should I just tell him to get over it and hook me up?
...BoSe isn't used to correct "some issue" like a magic bullet...It is a supplement to an animals daily diet, that provides Selenium, in particular,which, in most cases, is severly deficient in most goats diet, even taken into account free choice minerals and nutrient added feed rations. Unless you live in an area that is not SE deficient. That is a fact. If your vet tells you differently, then He IMO, doesn't have the right information....Not to say you couldn't raise a goat without BoSe....just like you, yourself, can live a full life without a daily multi-vitamin...aggieterpkatie said:I've seen so many people giving BoSe at the first sign of any tiny little issue, and I think that's probably why your vet is hesitant to give it out.
I understand why it is used, and I also think many people abuse it. I'm not saying anyone on here is, I just have noticed that on some other forums I visit, it's the first thing people say to give when anyone has any little issue with an animal. I've not noticed that on this forum, but if so many people on the other forum are giving it at any sign of sickness, that tells me that many people probably over use it. I don't blame vets for being a little hesitant to hand it out. I was just expressing my opinion that in our area, we have animals thriving without receiving it. Perhaps our area isn't quite as deficient in other areas.()relics said:...BoSe isn't used to correct "some issue" like a magic bullet...It is a supplement to an animals daily diet, that provides Selenium, in particular,which, in most cases, is severly deficient in most goats diet, even taken into account free choice minerals and nutrient added feed rations.
