we use SpecatGard and I would give her 3 cc's, and another dose in 12 hours.
I would not give her anymore Corn syrup, Corn syrup can cause scouring and doesn't sound like she needs that. Yes, it is a very good source of energy. But I woudln't recommend using it on a goat that is scouring.
I would get a package of RE-sorb and/or Sav A Caf electrolytes, and see if she will allow you to drench her with that, or add some to her water source. Get a good feeding/drenching syringe while at the feed store, 30cc's work well. 30 cc's is one ounce. Try and get 2 or 3 ounces into her every 3 or 4 hours. but if it is stressing her out too much, and she is drinking water, then just add a little to her water. The Resorb is pretty tasteless, the Sav A caf is orange flavored. I often alternate the two products.
Only give hay, no green grass, no grains.
And then we come to the discussion of the sulmet and safegaurd, clearly those things aren't working. I would stop using them.
probiotics, two times a day. Plain yogurt or vanilla yogurt. it can be thinned with the electrolytes mentioned above and given as a drench. But Probios for cattle works really well that comes in a tube and easy to give.
B-complex injectable given as an injection. Great for a ruminant and will help her a lot while her rumen is having problems.
With her low body temp, I would give her antibiotics. In her case I would prefer Baytril It is a Rx.
But if you don't have that and can't get it, I would give her Penn G(procain G) shots twice a day the first two days and then one time a day the last 3 days for a total of 5 days. Penn G will help with the toxins in her system, but the Baytrill will actually treat her if it is a bacterial problem.
For the Penn G, i would give her 2 cc's the first shot and 1 cc after that.
then for several days after all treatments, I woudl continue to give her probiotics.
