More goat medicine

In an attempt to avoid having a repeat of last years worming medicine failure, we're starting off much more dilagent and cautious this year with regards to worming the little goats. We've been trying to pay close attention to their color (pale indicating anemia or low red count) and over the last few weeks (since it has warmed up and the worms appearantly have defrosted) their color has decreased over all. We wormed last week and then repeated this week having noticed that thing weren't looking better. We have a tote with all the supplies.
We also invested in an handy-dandy multi-dose syringe. I love it. Much better than trying to run and re-fill syringes between every goat. The toughest part sometimes is catching a few that are extremely skiddish. Case in point is #14, one of our yearling does. She won't let anyone come within 3 feet of her for any reason. In the photo, you can see her in the back on the right... while everyone else is enjoying grain... she's suspicious. We caught her the 1st go-round, but never did get her this time.For some of the goats whose color is really pale, we've been giving them a little iron. We have given iron shots in the past but they HURT big time. There really isn't an oral iron supplement approved for goats but there is... Geritol. Geritol is a sweet alcohol based tonic with B vitamins and iron. We only give a very little amount and most of them don't care for it... except #28. She seems to LOVE it. So much in fact I have to kind of run from her and keep the syringe out of reach lest she get too much. I've nicknamed her the "geritoholic!"
