    I see Jeffers carries a Di Methox 40%, but it says give IV only. I am not comfortable enough to give IV injections to goats. Can it be given by mouth?

    Yes, in fact all of the talk on this forum about Dimethox 40% is about giving it oral. Vicki

    The injectable part is for cattle not for goats. I give it orally also to my goats.

    Yes, Oral for goats: ) I have used it on One calf that had Pneumonia, and boy did it cure him fast. I used it In his Jugular like it says to do.

    well, It's do it or they die sometimes, and that makes it less scary to do a treatment that you are afraid might kill them. "know what I mean, Vern?"
