Maybe MOM in place of the CD antitoxin, but maybe that's what the charcoal is being used for, I've just never used charcoal. You may also try rubbing her left side real good too. I pray she gets better soon....

ok, so this morning, she wasn't any better or worse..... I gave her more tums and vit c pill with more charcoal. I also gave 3 cc's of ivomec orally (she's about 85lbs or so), and 4cc's of B12 SQ. have her belly a really nice rub, left her with some goodies (veggie scraps, raisins and banana....all of which she didn't eat when I was there). took her temp, and she's at 101.3. after dealing with the other goats, I came back and she had passed that oil slurry I gave her last night (it was disgusting). cleaned that up, said a little prayer and left to go to work. today, i'll be looking for some human vit B (should I get complex or thiamine?) and MOM. what else should I look for at the store? apparently b/c it's getting to be the Christmas season, the port is holding shipments in for longer than usual, which is likely why there's nothing at the feed store. sigh.....

Yikes, so sorry you are going through this. If you can get something that has Thiamine in the B complex, then that is what I would get, so all your basis are covered. I'm not in the expert realm by any means but I've learned a lot from reading about it... Praying she gets better soon:)

I would say if she is chewing her cud, then you wouldn't have to give MOM or the beer. If she isn't then most likely just the beer. I would also drench her with electrolytes, probiotics (kefir in your case) if she isn't drinking yet. You might want to wait for Happybleats or Goathiker to confirm:)
