goat pill question

[bheila]

Do you have a stanchion you can put the goats in? That's how I pilled mine. I put them in the stanchion, pushed their heads way up, kept their heads up in between my *boobs*

and shoved it down their throats.

Can someone tell me what to buy to bolus my goats?

Yes Chirpy I know you will do it right just letting them know not to overblous. Like the boluses I sent you the big capsule is for a calf 250 to 500 lbs so way too much for a goat....Like I said I measure it out on a gram scale and put into little capsules or put in a endless syringe. Some bolus guns are either too big or very little and will hold 3 small capsules.

I think I'm hallucinating here... am I missing something?

Where did I come into this thread?

But, since I'm here... it was suggested to me to open the capsules, weigh the copper and then mix it into some yogurt and use a syringe or gun to give it to them.​

I think she hadn't had her coffee yet when she posted

She was refering to a post I responded to. She just got us mixed up.

That's what I figured... I thought it was funny because I kept going back through the posts to see if I had responded and totally forgotten about it. (Which wouldn't be the first time for me.
