Ok guys. I have used lutalyse in horses and cattle before but this will be my first time using it in our goats. I have always used it with mares to short cycle but we had a minor mishap on the farm. Our buck lot fence went down (long story) and one buck made his way into the doeling lot. I had two 7 month old does, one 3 month old and 2 senior does in that lot since I had not planned to breed any of those this time out since they were still nursing kids. Well I know by the time I found out what had happened (my hubby and I had left the farm for a few hours and came back to the surprise) that the two 7 month old doelings appeared to have been covered (wet tails) and the 3 month old did not have signs but the buck was talking to her. I plan to dose those 3 with lutalyse but I am trying to remember if you do it 7 or 10 days out from the accidental breeding to prevent implantation. Also if I remember it correctly was it suppose to be 2 cc's for goats no matter weight or is there a weight calculation for goats on this? My vet was not sure on that since she has not used lutalyse in goats either.
So question recap since above post was long.
How many days out from accidental breeding to prevent implantation? 7 or 10 or other #
and
Dose amount in cc's? Is it 2 cc's
Thanks guys in advance for your answers!
