Okay I have a few of my "kids" coughing. Not all the time but enough for me to notice. All still are eating, drinking (a lot actually) peeing and pooing fine. Some have some nasal discharge. Should I be taking temps? They all seem and act fine just the cough and nasal discharge. Should I give some vit c's for immune booster? I was thinking perhaps a cold going around? At what point do I suspect pneumonia? I had 4 last year that had the same thing, same time as last year, but all were better within a month or so, but I don't wanna risk it not being the same thing if I should be doing something.

Your thoughts, advice?

I do have LA200 and penicillin on hand...

Pneumonia starts with a high temp OR a sub temp. I would give Robitussin DM to help break up the mucous and bring them back to health quicker.

Okay, I can do that. How much? Safe for preggo does?

I agree with goat hiker and I would add B complex...but do take temps a few times a day..silent pneumonia can sneak in quick...be ready with Tylan 200 just in case (LA200 is not recommended to pregnant doe and young kids) 1 cc per 25# every 12 hours sub Q ... best wishes

What is the difference between LA 200 and Tylan 200? Just curious.

Yes, safe for preggos. Just follow the human dosing guide.

Okay Thank you!

Thanks!! I'll get some Tylan 200 tomorrow then.

I'm not sure, hopefully someone will pipe in. I got it, but haven't used it yet. My kids seem to be better already
