Pixie's poos are now clumped together berries! Progress! Obviously the sulmet was having some positive effect. Got the Albon from the vet and dosed at about 4 pm today. Won't know the effect of that until it gets through the system.
Is the digestive system really 72 hours? Trying to determine how long it takes for the meds to show a positive result and which meds are most effective.
There is no doubt that this is cocci.
We have a rogue groundhog that may be the culprit. I've never killed a living thing, but I may have to in this case. Incidentally, tomorrow is Groundhog Day. I've owned a gun for 20 years. Never fired it. Don't even have bullets. Someone suggested bubble gum to kill groundhogs. Some recommended throwing an M80 into its den. All seems so incredibly cruel. They are truly sweet vegetarian creatures. We've captured and rehomed over 30 raccoons this year. Easy to catch raccoons. Groundhogs are a bit more intelligent.
So, I have to ask... how much time have each of you spent staring at goat bottoms on the average? This has become my new hobby.... tentatively staring at goat bottoms anticipating the consistency and viscosity of the impending poo... have you ever noticed how much goat tails/bottoms look like little old men in anoraks ( parkas). There must be a pictorial there somewhere....Perhaps the cover of National Geographic? " The Secret Lives of Goat Bottoms"...sorry.... days of interrupted sleep, getting up every three hours to ensure that my little goatie girl is still kicking. Waking up in the morning, stressed out, going to the shed before doing anything else.... Peeking in to find.....ah, she's ok. She's eating, wagging her tail.. whew... where is the coffee. When was the last time I ate? Neurotic? Absolutely. Worth it? Without question. There is nothing more connected to Gaia than caring for the creatures that were designed and implemented to maintain balance. We are lucky, aren't we? Even in the worst of times, these creatures are a blessing.
