So sorry this is happening. You might want to get some Bo-Bac 2x and vaccinate all your goats with it. This is a antibody serum for e-coli, salmonella and Pasteurella. If you will read up on it I think you will like what this stuff can do. This is what I got and gave my her in Jan when Pnumonia swept through my herd. I also gave it to my new goat I just got before unloading him in hopes it would help him not get pasteurella incase someone still harbers the germ. In about a month I will vaccinate all my goats for pnumonia so they will pass on antibodys in their milk to their babies. I got my from livestock concepts and they were great and got it to me quick and still nice and cold. The dose for goats for treatment is 30 cc sub q and for prevention is 15 cc sub q and it comes in 250 ml bottles.
Another pnuemonia case............
Had another one last night, killed him in less than 24 hours. With the weather change of 75 degreese Saturday to 34 degreese and snowing yesterday, I should have suspected we would lose someone.
NEXT YEAR I AM VACCINATING MY REAR END OFF!!!!!

OH, CJ. I am so sorry to hear that. I know what you mean about the weather change. We were record high on Saturday, 69 and Sunday we were in a severe winter storm. I am a little worried about on of my does. She has lost ALL her hair, I mean ALL. She is walking around with just little nubs, This is the third year they have done this after they kid. I have three that are totally totally bald. It has the Vets stumped also. So anyway, I am watching this one, for sure.
Saturday 69, Sunday 28 with blowing snow and big storm, Monday 39 and Tuesday (today), 45 and tomorrow, they are saying 30. I went on line and bogght her and two other goats foal blanket.

oh CJ I am so sorry :hug: For them to go down that fast I am leaning toward the pasturella pneumonia which is different then other types of pneumonia in that it can kill in that short period of time with no signs (a lot of people refer to it as silent pneumonia) I learned a lot about it from trob1's experience.
Also wanted to say that if this were my herd everyone would be getting a shot of Bio-mycin 200 then put on auromycin 4 gram crumbles dosed at 1 oz per goat to give them 250mg of tetracycline top dressed on their feed once a day for at least a month. This is highly contagious and should be treated agressivly. They could all be harbering the germ and with weather changes or stress bam an outbreak will happen.
Thank you so much Trob1 for your help and concern but I dont think throwing a bunch of chemicals at them is going to help much. I agree that I will deffinantly find a vaccination and vaccinate everyone as a preventative and to make sure no one else is harboring the germ but I dont want to stress them anymore. The weather is supposed to be great for a while so hopfully things will look up. This season has just been absolutely insane witht he ups and downs. Thank you everyone for yous suggestions and condolences. Does anyone know if tractor supply would carry the pnumonia vac?trob1 said:Also wanted to say that if this were my herd everyone would be getting a shot of Bio-mycin 200 then put on auromycin 4 gram crumbles dosed at 1 oz per goat to give them 250mg of tetracycline top dressed on their feed once a day for at least a month.

How about this one? I can actually get this one from my local tractor supply:

Also, One of my other feed stores had a CD&T plus pastruella pnumonia vaccine. I cant remember the name of it though. Which one would you guys suggest out of the 3? The first one I would have to ship in from Jeffers.

The things I suggested are not chemicals!Thank you so much Trob1 for your help and concern but I dont think throwing a bunch of chemicals at them is going to help much.
You can do as you want with your herd, I just suggested what I would do if this were my herd and I have been there done that and didn't lose a single goat in the process and everyone is very healthy.
Any of those vaccines will work but keep in mind that using a vaccine while in the mist of an outbreak is not a good idea. It would be like giving a goat the c,d & t vaccine to a goat with enthro instead of giving them the C D antitoxin. You need to insure all goats are healthy first or you are wasting your money, time and risking their lives. You really need to read up on this type of pnumonia.cjpup said:How about this one?
