Copper Boluses

I got my repackaged copper boluses today and dosed the girls-- I got Storm to take hers without crunching it through applesauce and Lightning got hers a la peanut butter...

Ivy... the baby... well, I haven't found a bribe good enough for her yet. It took a miracle to get her to take probios this morning, so I'm going to wait a little on the copper.

Two of the three girls have a cough/runny noses. Not fun.

Any tricks for younger goats?

I'd buy a boulsing gun to use on her. I've found them awfully easy to use.

I don't know how old Ivy is but Vicki doesn't bolus till 4 mos. old. I would be thinking about antibiotics with a cough.
