PLEASE HELP! Injured goat! PICS ADDED!

You can give up to 3 shots of Banamine and it shouldn't cause a problem. Alpacas are notorious for stomach ulcers and problems and a study was done on them to see how much Banamine would be safe. They found that 3 shots, once a day, causes no problems. Dosage 1cc per 100 lbs.

UPDATE- The vet came out and gave her Banamine, a furazone wrap on the leg, a tetanus booster, and sulfa tabs (1 pill 2x/day for 5 days).

He said she does look rather wormy so Weds she will get a second dose of Valbazen to clear up any immature worms it the first round did not get (the first dose was last Sunday).

I also went to TSC and got some Noble goat and BOSS which I will start giving them once everything with her leg settles down as I don't want to shock her system or stress her anymore than I have to.

Thanks so much for everyone who helped!

Oh and as a funny side note my vets wife came over with her blue heeler and Clemintine (the paint who does not have the injury) kept charging and head butting the fence where the dog was! She has never done that to my dogs! It was like she was protecting Matilda (or just being a pisser LOL!).

It sounds like she is on the road to recovery! Good to hear!
