Is she chewing a cud? ANy rumen sounds or movment? her temp looks good, keep an eye on it...if she does not have any rumen function go ahead and give the MOM as well..15 cc per 60# this will help push any toxins out..offer electorlytes to encourage drinking as well..

I think she would like the taste of coconut oil better too..my goats love it..

The charcole should help her as well...the MOM will help flush it..hopefully by morning she will be feeling better...
if you fear mold..be sure to check her grain, and hay source..Thiamine or fortified B would be good

great job...its good that they forgive us....I think it is so funny that even the most in your face friendly goat will run from me when they are sick! Mia was raised here her whole life..you cant be out there with them without her being right at my hip..pushing my hand for loving..but today she had the runs and mamma went into "DR MODE"..took both me and my son to catch her for pepto and CD Antitoxin lol..after that...she wont even look me in the eye...lol.then once they feel better..you are best friend again lol...

I know right...

B complex with high levels of Thiamine would be great or do both the complex and an extra thiamine....
it has got to be frustrating not to be able to get what you need...
Keep up the kiefer
MOM should help if she has toxcity building..15 cc per 60# every 4 hours...her poop will soften as the MOM flushes the toxins out...be sure to keep her hydrated during this process...once she is eating again you stop MOM...you can then use pepto if she is very runny...or if its just ploppy, let it be...

Homemade Electrolytes

A half gallon of hot water
2-6 Tablespoons of Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses or what you have on hand or honey
1-2 Tablespoons of Either Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda or Table Salt.
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar


Mix well and drench or let them drink it.

Grind the pills up and add enough water to drench or mix it with her keifer : )

if she is still not chewing a cud..continue the MOM ..beer wont hurt either..the MOM will flush the toxins and the beer will help kick start the rumen..sounds like she is trying to get better..is there anything she can eat that would send her back to not eating..a plant upsetting her rumen?
Keep her hydrated as well...

Best wishes..I know having a sick goat can be frustrating....you just want them better NOW ... Hugs

if sheis chewing a cud you can stop MOM... means her rumen is back in action...do continue the kiefer a few more days and keep a close watch on her...hopefully she isnt getting something in graze causeing this shut down.. And I agree be sure to always have fresh water at all times so she can choose what she wants to drink..: ) you can also give 1/4 ACV in a gallon on water, seeif she will drink that..

great job!!!

Beingout with her goat buddies should cheer her up some...I would do kiefer with the b's twice a day until you feel she is out of the woods...if you dont see her chewing a cud by bed time...then dose her MOM again.. but wait as long as you can..see what her body can do..

 

[happybleats]

I agree...its most likely the vitamines..oral will go to the milk more than injected : )

so so glad she is feeling better!! great job!
