ksacres - while I don't disagree with you about overmedicating, I have to rebut. I can look at one of my children, see their runny nose, hear their cough and know they need an expectorant. It's the same here - there are a concrete list of symptoms to go by. It's not willy nilly. I'm very...

Quote: A) just feeding medicated feed won't do the trick. You still have to treat for it and then do herd-wide prevention on a regular basis. B) blood in the stool is in the 'too late' phase. You HAVE to catch it early (at the first sign of the trots) and treat with antibiotics. By the...

Yup - I think we're talking the same product here. I use the brand name ProBios gel for my goats - kids get 5 units and adults get 10. I would blame the trots on the milk replacer. I've had bad luck with milk replacer, but some people have had fine luck with it. I think it has too much...

I would feed the younger ones more often...but as long as it seems fat and happy I guess you're doing ok. In addition to the hay, offer goat grain and loose minerals free choice. Most of my kids are experimenting on the grain with mom by 3 weeks of age. Don't forget to start C/D & T...
