Doe is off-feed, away from herd.

Not yet but I will get it soon.
Do you happen to know of any chain stores that carry it? The closest brewery that carries Guinness is about 50 miles away..

 

She usually retains her udder and I haven’t noticed it getting bagged up or larger. I can check for colostrum/milk.

 

We found a closer brewery. Are any of these three considered dark flat beer? Thank you!

 

@GoofyGoat and @happybleats

Just took Temp and it was high at 104.4

We have injectable penicillin and some Duramycin we could give as an antibiotic. Which do you think is best?
Thank you both so much!

 

Great, thank you! My parents are about to go out and will pick up some Guinness Extra Stout for her.

 

We injected her with 5 CC Penicillin. We did it SubQ. We rubbed it in too for her so it wouldn’t sting.

 

Ok thank you!
This may be dumb, but what is the beer for? What does it help with? Thank you!

We’ve had goats for almost 8 years but to my knowledge this is the first time we’ve had a sick doe - so I’m pretty rusty regarding medications.

How much should I give of the oral probiotic paste ? (Probios)
Just the amount on the package? Thank you!

 

I checked her udder and there was no milk. Ligaments were hard so she’s not in labor! lol

Her left side felt hard whereas her right side was squishy.

Rumen sounded like raindrops on a roof. Is that good?
I didn’t use a stethoscope though so maybe it would’ve sounded different if I had.

 

Thank you both! I’ll continue with the penicillin!

Is it possible her fever is contagious? Should I start my other girls on antibiotics just in case? I think they are all pregnant and one is due in a week or so.

I’ll try to keep an eye on Lucy (sick doe) and everybody else’s temps to see if anything changes.

And again, thank you both so much! I really appreciate it!!!

 

We took Lucy’s temperature again this morning and thankfully it was 101.2! We gave her another shot of Penicillin (5 CC, given SubQ) and she did eat a little this morning.
