worming question

[Ariel72]

I'm going to give her a 1/2 teaspoon full of the Red Cell. Does that sound about right for a Nigerian? Does that stuff expire? I've had it for about a year for a horse I used to have.

I have pygmies and nigerians and give Red Cell at a dosing rate of 6 ml per 20-30 pounds.

6 ml = approx 1.25 tsp

Do your goats like the Red Cell? She wouldn't even eat a 1/2 teaspoon in her 1/2 cup of feed. Just wouldn't eat her grain at all, the little brat. Maybe I won't need it if I bolus her with copper and give her BoSE. Are you worried about too much seleium with the BoSE and the Red Cell or are they ok together? I'd like to use the Red Cell since I already have it and its got other good things in it. Right now I'm thinking that squirting it down her throat with her copper bolus sounds like a great idea.

Red Cell offers a greater benefit than just copper.

I have 2 goats out of 11 that like the taste. I don't put it over their feed. I put it into a syringe (no needle) and drench them (squirt into the back of their mouth).

This poor goat is going to wind up hating me She never had a shot before, now I'm poking her with needles and squirting stuff down her throat. Just wait til i explain the whole hoof trimming thing to her. I'm not even going to tell her about milking.

Do you Red Cell everyday?

This is how I use it when I'm treating wormload anemia: 6 ml / 20-30# every 6-8 hours for 24 hours, then once per week until better.

Since you're dealing with a purely nutritional issue (from the sound of it) then I would probably just give 2 doses in the first 24 hours and then once a week.

Thats good was hoping I wouldn't have to do that everyday/
