I figured they didn't ALL have bottle jaw.

Sort of hoping it was the little ones and milk goiter instead of bottle jaw.

Check your dosages on that chart on dairygoatinfo.com for that goat's weight.

Alice your the best, that's the link I was talking about.

That is still a lot of mineral in such a few days even for that many goats. Hopefully once you can get them the copper rods, & worms under control that will subside & they'll all be doing a lot better.

I have had chickens, cattle, horses, rabbits, and now goats. I swear goats are the most difficult!

We have had a couple of goats with bottlejaw and it does seem to come up in the evenings and go away by morning. Goes away quickly once the worms are taken care of.
