I would send off and test for CaE and johnes. Worm load is the number one cause of anemia, I would recheck her fecal three times, a week apart since worms shed eggs in cycles, I would then choose a wormer like ivomec plus or valbazen if needed, red cell 6 cc per 100# daily for a week then once. A week until color returns. Vit. B complex plus or b12 daily. Lots if graze and green leaves, less fruit. Also adding flax and wheat germ to coconut oil making a paste and feed 2 tablespoons once or twice a day will add healthy fat and nice condition to coat. Might also add calf manna to her daily feed..

Good on the worms...it would be a easy fix if it were but she just wants to keep you on your toes lol.

Biotracking has a good reputation ..Ive uesed them and have been happy with them however they only do pregnancy and CAE, you my as well send to one lab that test for all..Waddl, here is there web sight

if you cant get the flax and wheat germ, try the safflower oil...Im not sure either about the Mac nut pulp, But as Karen Said, I bet Goathiker can give some answeres there, I would think a little in mideration would be good...Also, I bet Peanut butter would be fine..I have read where folks are buying it by the drums to feed cows...Be sure however it is just peanuts and maybe salt..no hydrogentated oils added...

On the test, if mom has CAE, kids will have it if she nursed them... with Johnes and I believe the whole herd would have been exposed and there for has a chance to have it as well..CL is contagious through the spread of puss...

Yes ..it would have taken care of Liver fluke...how long ago was she treated?

 

[happybleats]

if BoSe is not avaibable..try Selenium Vit E gel from the TSC or local supply store?

I understand the cost...Im our own vet here too...and my vet is only 12 miles away and capable when it comes to goats lol..but money talks! I rather by another bag of feed if I can vet them myself...

 

[happybleats]

Negative test results are awesome news!!!...I know goats who suffered Cocci to heavy worm load can have scaring that prevents nutrition from absorbing well...
Have you tried adding Flax seed?
