Updates for Amy and Question

Can't help you but put this question in your original post as no one is seeing this.

 

I would think either one or both would be just fine. I'd give it to her now as it won't hurt and I'd think the sooner the better if she were mine.

 

DUH thought you were asking abt nuflor. Any probiotic will help at anytime and can not hurt. You really need to get a hold of some banamin as ibuprofen just is not enough in my opinion. The chills.probably have a lot to do with shock

 

I'm glad your goat is hanging in there. To bad the vet didn't give you more Banamine. I always keep a bottle on hand. Goats can die from pain. Probios and yogurt have about the same type of probiotics in them. Keep offering her warm water.

 

Seeing how you are in Oregon....

IF your vet is reluctant to give you any more banamine, you could find a Naturopath and purchase some Arnica/Hypericum.
Arnica is very good for trauma and speeding healing. The hypericum is very good for pain.

 

Oh that sounds good I would buy a bottle of banamine to have on hand.

 

Mine love nothing more than fresh browse. Pine boughs especially.

 

few corn chips /tiny bit of boss/pine or fresh greens if you have it around. even a tiny bit of parsley just to intice her. mainly tho if she is in pain she won't eat so getting the banamine will be great. and keep giving probiotics of course alfalfa hay would be the best all around food she could get right now.

 

Have you only given her one shot of Nuflor? She needs to be on antibiotics for the dog bites. I would opt for Naxcel (1cc/50# twice a day for 2 days,then 1cc/50# once a day for 3 more days)or even Penn-G (I can't believe I'm saying that for something as serious as dog bites) 7cc/100#'s twice a day for 5-7 days) but some vets are not willing to dispense meds off lable. I would have to even go stronger if it was one of mine- Baytril 100mg.
Getting the Banamine will help her immensely.

Since she will eat animal crackers....try something like bread. 3-4 slices of light bread has about the same carbs & calories as 1/2# grain (plus yeast). If you're willing to buy the whole grain even better. I believe when you get the pain lessened she will be willing to eat more. Keep hay and water in front of her.

The ointment you have is what I use on my goats and it seems to work just fine. I'm glad she has eaten some. Sometimes when my goats aren't feeling well, and aren't that interested in alfalfa, I can get them to eat some grass hay.

 

A dose of vitamin B or shot of thiamine will increase her appetite and can't hurt her...

 

Wonderful, keep treating for stress and pain...

 

Oh that is good to hear!! keep up the good work

 

Vet said the shot Nuflor is a 3 day one (fiascofarm says 3ml per 50 lbs every 4 days)
........................................

This is of course horrible information. I love the whole idea of fiascofarm.com but her herbal and some of her dosages on very common drugs...it's just wrong. I don't know if she doesn't use them or simply has copied this down from another source, but her site could use a good proof reading.....from Kaye!!!!

I am so glad she is doing better, you will be very lucky with her antibiotic treatment that these wounds do not get infected, especially with the now goopy eyes.

Try to ask for meds now that you have a relationship with this vet to have on hand, buy the vials so you can use real dosages. Vicki
