Granny's gone and done it again

Buckling has pretty severe coccidia. They nibbled hay and I got about an ounce of milk in them last night. This morning they each got the hang of it. The buckling took 1 ounce and that was good enough for me. 20 minutes later he sucked my finger, so he was finally ready. They’re getting probiotics and Albon for the next five days.
Did you get the goat electrolytes?
 
Good thing you took the sample to the vet. Poor guy. He looked pretty alert in the picture, but not quite as good as the girl... she had a glint in her eye.

I forget why they were at auction... did the mama die?

“I lost the mama,” is what he said.

No, I looked but wasn’t sure what to get. Is that also the Karo/molasses mix?
 
Lost a guinea some time in the last two days. Last night something got into the tractor and tore up Herkey and Ms. Natalie. It couldn’t fit through the trap door enough to grab them. I think I might be able to save Herkey but Ms. Natalie looks like a cull. I knew better than to leave them, they were in the garden and fine. But I convinced myself that with the pop door closed a coyote wouldn’t have enough room to fit through, and they would have room to get away. Our guy here today is thinking fox. I just know it’s another day covered in blood and chit and I can hardly breathe.

No the mix is a drench and the electrolytes are powdered. The high sugar content in the drench pulls water out of the system to dry up the diarrhea and the electrolytes replace what is lost due to diarrhea. I use both.

So sorry Camping, that sucks! Go inside, get a shower and fix yourself something to eat and a drink. Breathe. This too will pass. Hugs.
