EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

It could be also some kind of poisoning. .....

Well, she said it happened the night of that storm and it is rare to get snow in southern Texas like that. The animals are not used to that kind of cold down there

A friend said she bets on sudden pneumonia which kills in less than a day. Goats can be so fragile.

Great article

I agree, We should grill up a walrus steak to celebrate....

Day six of Honeybee's RSV infection. Airways sound much clearer and he's no longer wheezing. Coughs are few and far between and sneezes are practically gone. I'm continuing with his treatments until they're supposed to finish on Monday, but I think the doctor will give him a clean bill of health when he gets examined on Monday morning.

In other news, my wrap carrier came in. Just in time too, I can have a few days to get used to using it and figuring out how to get it so he sits high enough and has proper posture before our flight on Tuesday. Cleaning and packing has started, already almost done with mine and Honeybee's bag. Just need to pack Husband's bag and get the soap wrapped and bagged in the checked luggage.

If I have a bug myself, I don't get lubby dubby with my herd.

That has to be a ton of weight off your shoulders..

I took that bite... & with honesty...

That is a rare occasion!

I marked my calendar

@Akrnaf2 Hey Benny, do you agree with me that it is possible that Kajira's goats died of hypothermia? I mean without seeing them we have no idea, but based on what she said about them and the storm I wondered. Especially since she said her three goats were found dead in the shed looked like they had fallen asleep and just not woken up. It was after a storm and the temperature went from 80 degrees to 30 degrees and there was rain.

Goats are use to season climate change.. I would lean towards a biological cause. It is a Myth and a gross misconception that Goats are the easiest livestock to raise. Health, hoofs, wet weather.. I learned the hard way that the old cartoons of a goat eating a tin can is BS. After the last one with zero back legs and a 22LR mercy kill, and past experiences, they are unpredictable. Sorry about your thing.. They make the garden beautiful in the spring..

TJ has some original threads name!

publicity...
how are you enjoying Hanukkah Benny? I hope all is well. You sound rested and content!

I don't see a problem. Clear water is a human thing.

Just the glass walls are covered w/alge. the water is filtered with a quality carbon system. It is just exposed to Florida sun... I wouldn't drink out of it but it is fish safe.. just not pretty. As soon as all the piggy offspring pads our pockets, scrubby dubby... I will photo it as always... my trademark.

You could prove me that he wasn't?

no worries ralphie... I have lived w/a man for 30 plus yrs.. I know male mentality... We are extra good.. we are buddies.. me and you and a dog named boo..

You guys All keep me busy keeping up! I wouldn't do that if I didn't consider you all friends.. yes you too ralphie.. your like the brother I glad I never had.. but still have a pinch of remorse thinking it could have fun if I did.. wink wink..

Tonight the temps are stable.. of course the freaking humidity came back.. I left my cell p on the outside table and it shorted out... @##%^&^&%#!
It is sleeping in a sealed zippy bag filled w/raw rice. Why can't things be uneventful for em-wah? sometimes I think you guys only like me because hearing my tragaties makes you all feel better and "at least I'm not em dash connie" ...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS... You too @Sally Sunshine !

Were the others showing symptoms of cocci?

It is common to get the wrong dosage. You can also make up a stronger dose and give it by droppers or syringe. @casportpony has details for that.

I would treat all of them using the severe outbreak amount and then another 10 days of followup:

For Banti’s amusement, it’s -15*, and -19* with the windchill.

I would never leave the house. Actually, I won't go outside if it's below 55.
