I was searching Jeffers and found this. Could it be used in the place of Bo-Se? http://www.jefferslivestock.com/ssc...6XRSJX64T3H9LN0S4BKNHAA1CC123M8&pf_id=0030913 Label Info: Selenium and Vitamin E Gel for Goats -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kaeco Group, Inc Selenium and Vitamin E Gel for Goats All Natural Guaranteed Analysis: (per 5 ml) Natural Vitamin E min ............... 500 IU Selenium max ............................ 2.5 ppm Directions for Use: Give orally on back of tongue.

Do I need to go through a vet to get Bo-Se?
the gel just isn't enough of it to do much good so yes go thru your vet. Of course the gel is better than nothing if given enough
I'm sure without cliking on the link that BoSe from your vet will be Much more cost effective then using this. If you used enough to do any good it would probably cost you an arm and a leg.
Daniel have you checked out your selenium levels in your area? BoSe is a must but around here our vet said that extra would help them so ours get 2ml of the paste every month on top of their 2x a year BoSe shot. But check your levels.

Someone needs to blood test, use this stuff and see how much it rises the blood level and for how long. Because one shot to elevate levels for 3 or 4 weeks, or gel everyday...nope vicki
