Leaving for OK this week!

[oceanmist]

we are leaving from oregon to go to tahlequah, OK in just a couple of days!

other than making sure they have fresh water with electrolytes, feeding only hay and NO grain, providing adequate air flow without making them cold, and making the trip as short as possible... does anyone have any suggestions on making this a HEALTHY trip for my girls?? 2 of them are about 2.5 months pregnant and one is a junior doe.

I am taking them in for a vet check on Thursday.

Should I vaccinate for pneumonia, should I give them a B vitamin shot to help keep their rumens functioning properly?

Thanks everybody, we will keep you posted on our arrival... I am so excited! I get my goats back! I am going to hug them everyday for the first 6 months! LOL probably forever!
