Forgot to mention that he is a Nigerian Dwarf. Would he be too young/small to have the peppermint oil put on his nose? Also, would it effect moms udder at all?
Congested Buckling
I've got a buckling that was born October 3rd of this year that has a bit of congestion. He is not lethargic and he is drinking from mom with no problems. He is one of triplets (although I lost the doeling, that's another story 
) so I've just got the two bucklings on mom now. The other buckling has no signs of congestion and neither does mama. His temperature is 102.2 and he is just having a bit of trouble breathing and a small amount of clear to white mucous. The mucous is only present near the end of the day, sometime afternoon, so I'm guessing the dust is irritating his nostrils. I've heard of using peppermint oil to help clear them up and I was wondering if anyone else has tried this before with success.
A huge thank you in advance!

I'm going to put it on a Q-Tip in front of his nose to smell a few times a day without putting it on his skin. I'll let you know how it works. Thank you for the reply!
