Thanks, Maggie. I will start her on excenel this evening. Yes, I did the penicillin twice a day at 1 cc per 20 pounds. | ||

Normal urine stains yellow on does and they don't dribble urine. The rusty color is what I always saw with my does with uterine infections. It came out after the doe was finished urinating and just dribbled down their legs. It would come out when they lay down from the pressure. You won't hurt the fetus by giving oxytet. All oxytet does if it does anything is to stain the teeth and bones. And only if given in very high doses for a very long time, like daily for over a month. There is a tremendous resistance to penicillin and even oxytet. I just always have had good results with oxytet. You may wish to go with Naxcel instead. You give that at 1 cc per 50 pounds twice a day for 5 to 7 days. Did you give the penicillin twice a day or only once? Give it at 1 cc per 20 pounds? Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

Correction: I had given the penicillin injections 3 to 4 weeks ago. | ||

I will look at her confirmation the way you described very closely when I go out in a bit. This information will be helpful. I had given her a 5 day round of penicillin right around 2 weeks ago. But I have not noticed any change; should I still go ahead with the oxytet, or will it be harmful to the fetus', just in case she is bred? Also, you mentioned mucous and pus, I do not notice any of these; only a rusty, urine stained color. What would be some signs that would be a result of a uturine infection? Thanks | ||

I have had several does with uterine infections that were never sick, no fever nothing, just full of mucus and pus. If it is her injury or her conformation it is likely to be a recurring problem. When you look at her from the side standing on level ground is her hind end higher than her withers? Does she have a very steep rump? These faults amke it harder for the uterus and bladder to drain properly... Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

Maggie, She would have already come back into heat this week if she were going to recycle; so, I am thinking the breeding did stick. Will the oxytetracycline hurt if she is bred? She is still in with the buck. I put a call into my vet yesterday, and he asked if she was overweight, which I do not think so, and he also said it could be her confirmation, which she never done this until a couple months ago. If it is a uturus infection, won't she be running a temp, and be really sick? She acts perfectly normal, other than the staining of (?urine?) She was treated heavily with antibiotics, put directly into the uturus, plus heavy 5 day injections when all of this happened after the hard delivery. If the tear in the vagina is causing some infection is this something that will be a recurring thing? Thanks for your help. | ||

This could be coming from her uterus not her bladder. You might try giving oxytetracycline at 1 cc per 30 pounds by SQ injection for 10 full days. I don't think she is pregnant. If you should see her cycle into heat wait 10 days then give her lutalyse. This will bring her into a strong heat and help her clean out her uterus. Always give a 5 day round of antibiotics after a hard kidding to hopefully prevent a uterine infection. The tear in vagina may be causing this too. Causing urine to pool in the vagina, infecting the uterus...This is pretty common in horses... Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

I have a 100% boer nanny that is 2 years old. She was just bred on the 12th of August. Question:: She has a wet, rusty, brownish color discharge starting from her vagina going all the way down to her left hock. I keep washing her off, checked her temp yesterday, it is normal. 103. She has been doing this since before she was bred, so I know it is nothing to do with the breeding. I had even given her a 5 day round of penicillin before I bred her in case she did have a bladder infection. I have been trying to catch her pee the last 3 or 4 days to see if she is peeing a normal stream, or if she is maybe dribbling and it is going down her left back side. But have had no luck catching her. I guess I'm gonna have to go spend the afternoon camped out with her to see exactly what she is doing. She is not peeing alot or straining to pee; which I would also think would accompany an infection. She acts perfectly normal otherwise, eats, drinks, is perky, as usual. Don't know, if even maybe she is peeing while she is laying down and it is leaving her all stained up from running down her. She had a hard birth the first kidding, but that was back last December. She had a bad vaginal tear. Don't reckon that would have anything to do with this at such a late date. She has access to fresh clean water in the barn that I change twice daily, but she would rather drink from the pond, which is not the cleanest. Have even wondered about the dirty pond water. Call me crazy, I like my girls to have clean water. Has anyone ever had anything like this? And, if it could be a bladder or kidney infection, wouldn't she run a fever with it? Thanks for any advice. I would like to show her, but with the staining so badly going down her whole back leg, I CANNOT get it to come off, and it looks terrible. |
