Our little Buttons has had a time of things lately. We check FAMANCHA at least once a week and his has been pale for two weeks now. I've given him Vitamin B Complex, Red Cell and something called Replens which is a vitamin and mineral paste. He had a high worm load and coccidia so we vetted him and got meds for that. But then he still didn't bounce back.. So I keep giving him Red Cell.... Then all of a sudden he couldn't pee so back to the vet. After a few days of drenching him with a concentrated solution of Ammonium Chloride he finally was able to pee on his own without having to have his pizzle snipped. Whew that was a real scare as we lost one of our first goats to UC and it was horrible... He's still anemic but we are doing all we can to help him recover. He eats well and is still peeing ok and stools look healthy. I just wish he felt better... The $$$$ I spent on the vet are worth it but he seems to be not progressing a well as I would like. So I'm wondering if I'm expecting too much too fast... All three are on the same diet. Goat pellets, free choice Coastal hay, free choice goat minerals, baking soda, and filtered water. The other two are fat and sassy with FAMANCHA as red as it can be. I just don't know what else to do for Buttons....
