I have used Biomycin with success. Any tetracycline but La 200 which stings. 3.5cc per 100 lb, but it needs given once a day for 10 days, possibly more if the infection is large and deep seated. Unfortunately 10 days minimum which is a hassle and makes the goat a pin cushion. I think that's why Nuflor or Excenel is used to cut down on the hassle, it works quicker. I also support with vitamin C ,2 tsp. a day, E, some zinc, also calcium, magnesium, if off feed, mixed in some instant pudding as a carrier and drenched. Pro biotics, Bo-se shot. My goats get a coat put on too if sick, if they aren't on full feed they can get cold then other problems can arise from that.
