Gary, Thank you so much for your words about Nick..I will let Wes know as soon as Nicks pic is up there..he will be very happy to see it.
I mentioned that Tylan to my husband and he does think we can get it at Tractor Supply which is not too far from here, so I am going to check there. I have 1 small one (3 mos old) w/raspy breathing and no discharge from her nose, and the other buck has the discharge and is showing the signs of not wanting to eat..
We did give them a dose of the LA200, only because I did not want to wait. believe it or not, one did not scream at all..the little one..she screams when you look at her funny anyway (smile)..They seem to be eating, so I am just hoping all will be ok. I am also going to make a few goat coats for the 2 smaller ones..back to the LA200, as I do not intend on using it anymore, believe it or not, that is what most use around here, for both cattle and goats..I was suprised to hear actually how many do use it and they have had success.
Baking Soda...yes now I rememeber reading about that, will get myself some today when I go out (seems like I am always running out these days)...I did get them some cracked corn and layed the pine shavings down last night for them
