Update on bottle babies...

Finally success!!! They are both doing very well now. We had quite a go around with the sore mouth and pinkeye, then cocci . But all is well now. Had to give big round of antibiotics, with lots of probios and the cocci meds plus baby aspirin and orajel, but we finally got him back to a happy bouncing baby. Thanks so much for all the help you guys gave. Honestly you all know so much more than the vets around this area do concerning goats, and it's great to come here for help. THANKS AGAIN!!!

Great news!........My vets are the same way......they kinda learn on my goats...but I have learned not to take them to the vet anymore, LOL!

When they first saw my LaManchas, they actually asked what I did to their ears....they had never heard of or seen the breed....not real up on goats.

That's funny, cause our schools ag teacher/4-H goat leader wanted to know if thier ears had gotten frost bitten off. Then he noticed that all the goats in that section had the same ears.
