Forgive me if this has already been asked. Where would I look to find a thermometer to take my goat's temp?
Any Drug Store....I buy the human ...digital kind ...they are quicker...as you know... goats don't like to stand still long.........the thermometer is soft and flexible..... :wink: :greengrin:
I would suggest buy 2 or 3 of them. Keep one in the barn & extras in the house. Cold weather makes the batteries go dead faster. And duct tape a string w/a loop onto the end that you would normally hold on to & put your hand through the loop. After a few times of a goat "launching" the thermometer out of her bumm & then having to search for it in the hay, I found the string to be immensely helpful.
The dollar store carries the digitals as well....much quicker and safer IMO..can you imagine the mess with using glass? I like your suggestion Miss MM...I have had to retrieve my thermometer aftermy doe had a coughing fit and shot it across the room!
Wow never had one shot out before. Once had a dairy cow "suck up" a glass one. That was fun to go after :rolls eyes:
