ONE dose. No real fighting. The dose will fit in one, large syringe. It is not a coccidiastat, which inhibits reproduction of the coccidia bacteria and therefore needs a several-day dosage; it is a coccidiaCIDE and kills all maturity levels of the coccidia bacteria in the gut, from egg to adult.

It took them 4 days to get mine to me. This is something to have on hand in one's goat med kit as it does the job quickly.

That one bottle lasts a while.

How are things going?

Backfourty,MI. · #43 12/11/12, 07:16 AM

Yes, please update us on how your doeling is doing?

Sherry in Iowa · #44 12/11/12, 08:28 AM

I was wondering how she is too.

glasshousegoats · #45 12/11/12, 01:55 PM

Hi all, she is doing a little better, firming up the same, still pastey and weak. Good thing is that she is eating and drinking on her own. Her eyes are still a bit pale. She's been getting red cell and electrolyte water mixed with milk. Rear end smells like something died.

Did you order the Baycox from the link Caliann posted? It really does work! We used it this year and the difference between the Baycox and the other coccidia meds is amazing. And like she said, it is one dose and you are done, which makes it much easier on you and the goat. I hope you have it on order for her, it sounds an awful lot like she could use it. Good luck with her!

you can get baycox of amazon too but its the paste

glasshousegoats · #48 12/12/12, 08:08 AM

I can't find the link. Can someone repost it? Also what type am I supposed to order? And do I need a vet Rx to do it?

myheaven · #49 12/12/12, 08:24 AM

To me this sounds like either roto virus or crypto. When you said about the smell it stuck it to me that is the difference. If the smell is just so horrible you want to vomit its one of the two. And either of the two are transmitting to human. Keep human children away.
Can you have the vet test for crypto or roto virus. Roto alls you can do is supportive measures. And vaccinate the rest against it

myheaven · #50 12/12/12, 08:25 AM

I have dealt with both in cattle and children. It's horrible

Sherry in Iowa · #51 12/12/12, 08:49 AM

I think the above 2 posts may be on to something. It seems that the whole herd is being affected one by one.

Backfourty,MI. · #52 12/12/12, 06:20 PM

Never heard of Crypto or Roto before but since your having such problems with each 1 at different times & this one isn't bouncing back might be a great idea to tell the vet about it & have her tested.

Now I have to google both & read up about them.

glasshousegoats · #53 12/12/12, 07:45 PM

looking into both, our vet is pretty much useless

I know the feeling. It's not that they don't want to help but they just are not taught about goats in vet school and have very limited goat experience. You have to do the research yourself and then INSIST on certain tests. Try to leave the word "internet" out of the conversation. I always say a good friend with years of goat experience told me this or that.
I'm sorry you are going through this. The stress is awful, I know. ((((hugs)))

After looking into both crypto and rota, It can't be either. They are both highly contagious and only 2 are sick. We ordered bactrim and are picking it up tomorrow morning. It seems that they cleared up when they were on the sulmet tabs and after the safeguard and ivomec. Monday they get dewormed again.

myheaven · #56 12/12/12, 10:05 PM

What color is the poop? Is there blood?

myheaven · #57 12/12/12, 10:10 PM

Smz or bactrim will work good if it's salmonila. How old are the other goats? After a certain age they develope a ristiance to crypto and roto. If she is firming up she is on the road to recovery but keep bactrim on hand for Others.

myheaven · #58 12/12/12, 10:22 PM

Crypto is a Coccidia strain as I have learned. But it weakens them so bad they are opened up to many other things virus, Protozoa, bacteria. I honestly would ask for a specific Cryptosporidium. An roto virus test if you can afford it. Also salmonila and ecoli. You said you have been dealing with something like this sence June. With some crypto It take 7 -10 days after ingestion to take affect and will take another 3-7 days to bring the animal down. Crypto has Been bad this Year.

She hasn't been like this since june, she just started after thanksgiving. The thing with cryptosporidium is that we are on the northeast coast. I treated her with scourchek for ecoli and didn't see much of a difference. She is the only one who has been this weak. We don't have the money to do all the tests but when she finished the sulmet tabs and safeguard she started to clear up. Now its just a matter of staying on top of her.
The vet won't give us Lactated ringers and I know that if you can't get a hold of any that saline solution will work just as well. Has anybody heard otherwise or tried that before?

myheaven · #60 12/13/12, 10:04 AM

I read in your post. You have been dealing with something in your herd since June? Am I wrong. I never said this goat. The tests are only a couple of dollars. But it's up to you. Keep going with the resorb. Add a tablspoon per quart of baby rice cereal to help with the rapid pass threw.
