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

[Akrnaf2]

Not worms or coccidia. He recommended probios, so I'm at TSC. What else should I get while I'm here? I only have tylan at home.

I've got corid and probios now. Looking at Terramycin opthamalic ointment- is the oxytetracycline hydrochloride better than the bacitracin (and other two?) in triple antibiotic ointment? Is terra-vet 200 (oxytetracycline 200mg/ml) a better broad-use antibiotic than tylan?

It's a completely different type of drug.Both are good for some things, but not good for others. -Kathy

Isnt that why its called fortified B complex it has it in it?  hmmm now I am thinking more!! lol

My vet often perscibes both, or one or the other. You would have to ask more questions than I do to have the why answer.

Probios and plain grass hay. Without the goat in front of him he's thinking it's something dietary. I have to take his temp and watch him a few days.

Honestly, a quick change in diet, can cause that. when I saw what you were talking about, I was a lot less concerned, then thinking poop runs that sprays everywhere.

Yes, those are looser - I would deworm, too. Goats can get worms, which can cause looser stools. Since you are doing a fecal, it won't hurt to do probiotics and wait to see if there's worms.

Bloat issues, can also cause looser stools... and so can eating things they shouldn't be eating.
Over-eating can also cause the stool I saw.

If you over-eat, did you know that you'll end up having the runs because your body can't digest that much at once? I would consider muzzling him and seeing if reducing his free-range ability fixes the problem.

Also - One last thing about goats, they do need access to salt licks, similar to horses.

Rock salt, and natural sources are great to have available, and some goat feeds, will add salt to make sure they get extra.

I'm pouting now 

I swear I made it last night! I really tried hard to make it right for you! I didn't even joke about your name ("Mike or Phil")! I can do better! Tell me what you want! How do you like it?!

I have seriously wondered about how wise getting goats is after reading all this. It is a lot more complicated than it seemed....

You left the extra key in plain sight. e

No. I changed the locks and swallowed both keys. Took all the tools, and boarded up the windows.

She just wormed. Unless the eyelids are very pale I would not. People are worming too much. I have a couple of boers that have only been wormed once this year and are fine. Especially since she was doing a fecal.
