Need Some Questions Answered.....UGH

It's back...atleast I am 99.9% sure it's coccidia again.
Won't get a fecal to the vet till Friday.

(After I post this.) Hannah will be given Probios, Wormed, and given dimethox. Temp will be taken to.

Questions:
Will dimethox 12.5% & 40% abort does that are about 1 month in pregnancy?

I believe all 3 does are bred, all 3 are about a month in their pregnancy, if dimethox will not abort them I'm going to treat all 3 of them the first time around. I have been through this enough. One has it, they will all get it. Happend twice before and I'm hoping to prevent it this time around.

What are the chances Hannah will not lose this pregnancy? If she doesn't, what should I do to ensure she recooperates well? Should I lute her?


Thankyou in advance. I'm going to head out and take care of Hannah. I wont dose anyone else until I check this thread.

 

The runs (Starts out cow patty type then progressively gets worse until its watery), she's hunched up, grinding teeth, off feed, temp at 5ishPM 100.6.

forgot to check eyelids when I was down there milking Delilah. Im going to check on them so I'll check.



When the fecal was ran the first time this happened, it came back coccidia. I want another fecal ran but I cant get one done till Friday unless my sis can come out here tomorrow afternoon.
They all three responded to the coccidia treatment, the runs disappeared, they started feeling better and eating with in a few days of starting it. I always made sure to complete each round, I never skipped a day or just up and quit. I made sure to give them their dose every single day of their treatment.

Thanks
Any other questions just ask. I'll try to answer them the best I can.

 

Sondra, I posted her temp above from this evening. Im going to retake her temp when I go back down to check though.

I already dosed her w/ dimethox.

I used dimethox the other time to. Do you think its worth switching meds?

I thought I had the problem solve with the girls not absorbing their minerals correctly, leaving their immune system compromised, fixed that problem, and they dont inhale the minerals like usual. They have really slowed down on them, but they still eat them. SO I thought I figured out the problem. Obviously not...

 

Any thoughts?

 

Should/Could I give her a bose shot? She had one in August... just trying to think of things that may help her...

 

No she is not being milked. She's been dry for over a month. I'll give her a bose shot tomorrow morning. I just went down there to check on them and checked eye lids to. Her temp is 101.7. So its going up now.

Going by the famancha chart,
Georgia is a 1.
Delilah is a 3.
Hannah is a 4.

Should I go ahead and worm Delilah? Or should I wait till after I get a fecal done? I am going to take a fecal of Hannah and Delilah to the vets office.

Thanks

 

Sondra, You are correct. Kaye PM'd me.



So obviously there is an underlying issue. How do I go about finding it?
Thanks

 

When I took the fecal in last time, they just said coccida and gave me stuff to give to the goat.

SO this time, Do I ask for the amount of eggs and type of eggs found in the fecal even if there isn't enough to be too concerned about?

 

Thankyou for the replies.

A member has brought up an interesting point through PM. This member brought up the idea of something happening in their past, maybe as kids, that is compromising their immune system.

Hannah came from a herd in the neighboring county. Herd health is very important to her previous owners. They raise thier kids on CAE & Coccidia prevention. Her previous owner is actually a member of this forum.

Delilah came from a herd here in this county. Again herd health is very important to them also. Delilah was dam raised instead of raised on CAE Prevention. Never had Coccidia as a kid either.

And Georgia, she was born/raised here on this property, on CAE and Coccidia prevention.

Jonell- Our well quit working, the one at the house. We have another hydrant coming off DIFFERENT well down by the barn. So there's two wells. One well had hard water (w/ HIGH iron) coming from it while the house hydrant has soft water (w/low iron) coming from it. Once the new well was done, I switched the girls to the low iron water. They eventually quit inhaling the minerals. They still eat them of course but they have slowed down. I thought we found the problem. They have been on this water source for a month+.


Vicki-
I have switched grain, but Hannah doesn't get any of it,just Delilah. I feed Oats,Corn, Boss, Beetpulp, and Calf Manna. (I quit using provider 38 when I ran out of it.)

I have started adding grass hay in their alfalfa hay to stretch the alfalfa till this weekend but I started that two weeks ago. And I started that slowly.

The girls haven't been stressed recently. Since breeding w/ the bucks everything has been going easy. The only one that leaves the pen is Delilah to get milked morning and night. Everything has been going well so I dont see any ways they were stressed. Now the first time around, we had just got back from a show, and that is probably what cause it, but this time. :sigh

The girls pen isn't kept dirty. Obviously NOW it needs cleaned out since Hannah has had the runs all over the pen. I plan on stripping it out today and putting new bedding down.

Thanks
