Hey guys! As most of you know, in two weeks the new goats I bought will be coming home. They come from a healthy herd and I was thinking of isolating them for 48 hours in the horse trailer. I'd worm them once, use permectrin on them for any lice, they'd get a bath and get some Garlic tablets to help fight off anything, OH and some Probios.

Have I covered all my bases?

some people recomend dipping their legs in bleach - I haven't done this but I thought I would mention it

 

[Sara]

Any reason for the legs in particular?

 

[hornless]

I do the whole bleach thing for their feet, but not legs- in case they picked up something up along the way thru the feet, I want to make sure it is gotten rid of.

 

[StaceyRosado]

oops ment hooves not legs what was I thinking :doh:

 

[Sara]

Haha it's ok. Pure bleach or diluted?

 

[StaceyRosado]

I would delute it. 1part bleach to 2 parts water

 

[Sara]

Okiedoke. That's good to know. I can't wait till they get here.

Sounds like you have it covered! I do all of that but I don't have a place to seperate them for more than a night.. THAT IS MY NEXT PROJECT!!!!!!!! :leap:

 

[Sara]

Yeah, I feel bad isolating them in the big old horse trailer for two days, but after that they will have a good time.

You know, I like the horse trailer idea. Now why didn't I think of that?!
