Today would you do every 6 hrs and tomorrow try every 8 hrs since I will be back at work? Actually I would give him an injection at 7:00 am, then when I come home at 4:oo, and then again before bed at 10:00-11:00. How does this sound to you? Thank you for all you help, I don't know what I would do without this site. | ||

You might be able to back off giving it to every 6 to 8 hours. Only time will tell. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

The baby is still down. He's eating well and pooping and peeping. We have been exercising him and it seems that sometimes the legs loosen up a little and aren't real stiff but he still can't walk. What should I do about the vit B, we are still given it every 4 hrs? | ||

He needs to try to stand up or be helped up and supported so he can remain standing for a few minutes. You can "drape" him over a bale of hay to let his legs just touch the ground like they would if he were standing and bend and straighten and massage all 4 legs for 10 to 15 minutes or longer if he is reasonably comfortable. Do this 3 to 4 times or more per day while he is down. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

I misunderstood. I will start every 4 hrs. with the injections. What do you mean by exercise him? | ||

Decrease the amount of time between the injections but still give the same amount. If you were giving them at every 6 hours try giving at every 4 hours. Many people underestimate the weight of the goat and don't give enough, giving the injections of B1 more frequently will compensate for that. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

So should I decrease the injections starting now? I will start the baking soda drench. Any thing I can do to prevent pnemonia from starting? He is already getting penicillin. |
