Hi Karen, I had a bred doe doing the stargazing thing not to long ago, so I had the vet out he prescribed that I give her thiamine 3cc for 5 days and if I didn't have Thiamine that vit.B complex would work as well, just have to make sure your carefull with that because it creates an appetite and they may overeat and that the Vit. B has Thiamine it it as well.With vitamin B complex he said the dosage is the same but only for 3 days. Then because of the swelling in the brain and the fact that she is bred he told me to give her Pred FX this will be safe for prgnant does, if she wouldn't have been bred he would have prescribed Dexamethazone. Dex will cause abotions so never give this to pregnant does. The Pred Fx will take down the swelling in the brain. I also cut back on her grain and gave her good quality alfalfa. She is no longer stargazing and is due to kid in March. I hope this helped you out somewhat.
