My doe that I posted about in the lungworm thread is not doing well this afternoon. She seems very tired, dull in the eyes, and uninterested in food. Temp is 103.3. I think she might be anemic and need treatment asap, but everywhere I look has different information on how to treat her. I have redcell, I do not have iron injectable. She has already received probios and 2cc B Complex Plus. She weighs 40 lbs.

Help please?

I gave her 2.4 cc, which is the correct dose from what you posted. Poor girl.

I hope she gets better. I just lost a 7 month old doe to anemia.

If you don't mind me asking, do you know what caused it and how did you try treating it? I am just curious because I have not had to deal with this before and I have only had this goat a few days, so it isn't as easy to tell when she is off.

I just ordered some iron injectable that should be here by Wednesday. It just set off alarm bells for me when her demeanor changed so rapidly. It's like a flip was switched, she is so dull and listless. I am so upset to see her like this, she is just the sweetest little thing.

Update: she is up! And eating leaves I cut for her! And drinking her electrolytes! I know fixing anemia is a long road, but she is looking so much better right now and not scouring. Fingers crossed she keeps improving from here.
