[COLOR=FF0000]For those who have goats....[/COLOR] The antibiotics will no longer be available after Nov or Dec this year.... I have been researching the cheapest way to have the sulfa meds on hand... I am purchasing the -DiMethox 40% injectable given orally (THE SECOND IMAGE) NOTE PRICE? Cattle Antibiotics & Sulfas
Di-Methox (SulfaMed) Injection 40% $26.99 The following are notes I took when researching...... NOTE THE KID preventative schedules for those that have wet soil known for cocci issues???? Fortified B Complex-To replace the B vitamins in the rumen5 mL per 100 pounds of body weight. May be repeated daily, if indicated. 40% Albon [Sulfadimethoxine] and Di-Methox 40%[Sulfadimethoxine] GIVEN ORALLY The dose is 1cc/5# for 5 days as a treatment dose 1cc per 10# for 5 days for a preventative dose.

Many people often put kids on a preventative medication starting at 3 weeks of age. Give a twice daily 1/2cc ORAL DOSE of 40% Dimethox or a twice daily 1-1/2cc ORAL DOSE of 12/5% Dimethox for 7 days. After that, repeat the dosage only once a week until weaned.
Another thing yoy should get all along with the v complex and Thiamine is the cow med multi min (blue). It is a great thing to help with health. Especially near me or other areas with depleted soils. Be advised when you give it (SA) it burns some goats and horses don't react, but some will throw themselves down and holler. My vet gives it all the time and proscribes it often. Do you guys have free choice goat mineral and baking soda out for them? I use the two hole feeder from TSC. @Chaos18@campingshaws etc.

Did you know that while at an outdoor concert with my ex who was a cop I said "I smell skunk", and he actually started looking for the skunk? True story, I kid you not!
Shalom to all
touday me and my 2 daughters and some good freinds visited the Herodium near Jerusalem , a big fortress that have been bilt by the megalomaniac king Herods very interesting places! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodium
Roxie has, Beaux hasn't. I asked my goat mentor to help me but she doesn't do shots... So... Anyway, I'm asking her for the number to her goat vet. Ughhhhh I feel a little like someone else right now.
mine get there first shots and disbudded. The boosters according to schedule.
You can do this. Most shots are a simple SQ. If I was there I would teach you. Lift skin at neck stick pull back a tad to make sure you are not in a vein and push steadily down.

[@=/u/303220/Beer-can]@Beer can[/@]. Was it you yesterday that said you went to a broker to figure out what you needed to do to get a loan. Is this something I need to be doing?
Did you know that it is much easier to catch and kill a mink by stomping on its head at 10AM while it is killing a chicken in the field, than it is to shoot one at night or catch one in a trap?
This just happened 20 minutes ago and my heart is still pounding.
I'm so glad I was home. I was just about to leave to have my safety inspection done. The birds are usually safe in the middle of the day when they can see threats.
I heard mayhem and thought it was cockerels chasing pullets but I knew immediately it was a mink because squirrels don't chase chickens.
I didn't have time to grab a weapon. I ran out and he had a cockerel down biting it's neck. He didn't care that 2 other cockerels were attacking it nor that I was running up to the scene. I just stepped on it's chest and then on his head when he started biting my boot, after a couple minutes the cockerel I thought was dead got up and ran away.
Then I rearranged my boot and started stomping on his neck. We had 4" of rain yesterday and overnight so the ground was really soft.
Splash. Blue, Blach and Patriadge. I have no idea what color the older one is, exactly, he looks silver. LOL
The surviving baby, I also have no idea what color she is yet, she's still all wet. The others are out of the incubator and with my single hatchling silkie - and I've got the latest one drying off in the incubator and on her feet before I move her.
So nothing has changed except their forage yesterday, when they followed me around eating new things. I wormed them the beginning of the month. Sally the med you pictured is an antibiotic?
