First don't mix antibiotics, you gave both penicillin and tylan. Many antibiotics work against each other. Continue with the penicillin at 1 cc per 20 pounds 2 to 3 times a day. This could be listeria or polio....If you are using regular B complex to try to treat polio you aren't giving nearly enough. To use regular B Complex you have to give 1 cc per 2 to 3 pounds to give enough thiamin (Vitamin B1) to do any good. If you have FORTIFIED B complex you can use 1 cc per 20 pounds every 3 hours or so.

She may have hypocalcemia (commonly called milk fever), low blood calcium. You might try CMPK gel or liquid at the recommeneded dose (should have a sheep or goat dose on the bottle) every 3 to 4 hours. You need to keep her hydrated. If she can swallow drench her with water giving about a gallon a day.

I have a 3y/o nubian nannie with 2 month old twins. Last night she was down in the barn she had labored breathing and was making a grunting noise.Her temp was 102.1,she acts weak and wobble laying there, we tried to get her to stand she wouldnt she wont eat or drink I have given her 10cc pen, 6cc Ivermectin, 7cc b complex, yogart, & nutri drench. we put her under heat lamp. At 6:50 I gave 8cc Tyaln 50 (that is all I have). At 9:45 I gave 8 more cc B complex. and she was slobbering not really foaming. Please any suggestions!!!
