I would also get her temp. 101.5-103.5 is normal range.
How long has she been down?
What does her poop look like.
Check her lower inner lids for color
Is she getting fluids?
What foods is she eating currently?

 

[happybleats]

Also, Bring in hay, alfalfa, leaves..pine, cedar, vines...any safe natural browse you can gather. The more choices she has the better chance of her eating and getting her rumen going.

Also make sure she doesn't lay flat. Keep her propped up. Move her legs for her to keep muscle tone and blood flow going. Moce hee from side to side. Once she has some strength..use a large towel as a sling and get her up walking with support.

Best wishes

What do you think about the cydectin? I

Cydectin is an effective dewormer in the correct form. Not the purple cattle pour on..but cydectin sheep drench, or Quest horse paste are both good choices. Quest is the strongest and needs to be dosed careful at 1 cc per 100 pounds. The paste stays in the system longer so boosters should wait 21 days at least.

B complex is fine sub q ...so glad she's chewing her cud. You're doing good!

Cydectin pour on..the purple stuff is very common via vets. It doesn't make him a bad vet, maybe just uninformed on the down side of giving it. It is effective but their are other choices that don't require dumping harsh chemicals designed to adhere to a cows Hyde down our goats gut. So I prefer to recommend better choices.

For feeding..if everyone is retired..no babies..no milk and in good condition a quality hay and simple alfalfa pellets along with free choice loose minerals would be all they need. If they are bred, in milk or on the thin side..a quality 14% pellet feed would do. Sweet feed is like getting fruit loops for your kids lol while yummy..its full of unneeded sugars and fillers.
Always make feed changes slowly over a weeks time at least.

On injection..8-10cc per injection site is best as much more may seap out.

 

[happybleats]

Personally If its unopen...I would take it back. I wouldn't give to any goat. It is expensive. In the end rhe decision is yours. Many use it with no immediate issues.

 

[happybleats]

B complex dose is 4-6 cc per 100 pounds. 12 cc does sound like alot for 50 pound goat. Although she will pee out what she doesn't need its a bit of a waste.
If its for polio treatment..you give as much as needed to receive 500 mg of Thiamine.
