Ok, I have 2 does that r acting just a little funny, they are both nigerian dwarf goats, Is it ok if I go ahead and give them vit B complex shot and a shot of thiamine? 3 cc's of each or more?
OK Julie. I just met Coni at out State Fair. She was our Cashmere judge, and she is WONDERFUL. I was so very lucky to be her ring assistance and BOY did my head hurt when we were done. (from everything I learned)getchagoat (Julie) said:Mg is the same as cc. I always give 500mg of thiamin if I suspect something. Coni Ross, very respected goat lady, gives 500mg SQ and 500 IM daily if she is dealing with polio. And gives one dose of 10cc penicillin orally to topically kill bacteria in gut and 10cc SQ if polio and repeated doses if listeriosis (remember to give a form of live bacteria to keep rumen going). Once the gut is working again, she gives the thiamine orally. She also gives "Revive" orally 100cc with equal parts water.
Revive:
1 bottle 50% dextrose
20cc Vit. B complex
5cc Vit. B12
2cc 500 mg/ml Thiamin
