Camping, I think you are doing everything right. He could have come down with this simply from the stress of the auction and weaning and all.
University of NC put this out, so I think the vet is going in the right direction, at least it is common practice.
They don't say much about supportive care. Seems they are just relying on the medication.

Ha if I win the lotto I’m paying off student loans and opening a animal rescue.


At least it was a easy one.
We were timed in school. Some stuff is life or death so we got less than 5 minutes to calculate and draw up what is needed. It was hell.
We had a case file (age, weight, breed, brief history) that we had to read then figure out what was wrong. We’d have like 10 medicine labels that we had to choose what to use from. Some stuff was off label and others had restrictions.

Sorry camping. I have sure gotten attached to some of the chickens... more than I thought I would. It's very sad. They had a good life, so you can feel good about that.
This is turning out to be a long week.

I guess I'll go back to watching Ma and Pa Kettle or the Beverly Hillbillies

Yes, but some are saying there is resistance for some coccidia, and the goats can have difficulty with it because they need the vit B. They give B shots if using corid.
