Red Cell Dosage

[GraceAlice]

My doe that I got yesterday is severely deficient in copper. Flaky skin, coarse hair, fish tailing, supposed to be black but has brown legs. She is still producing milk for her baby, but we are not milking her to make it easier on her. What is the dosage of Red Cell for a 65 pound goat? Is Red Cell (for horses) very delicate in the amount, as in will it kill her if I give her 2cc's more than I'm supposed to?

Red Cell is not a copper supplement. It's mainly for iron and anemia. High iron content in water can actually inhibit copper absorption.

For copper, you use copper boluses.
