Could be dermatophilus a bacterial infection. Try neosporin or betadine. It may also respond to zinc oxide ointment as it is sometimes caused by a zinc deficiency. You can kind of mix the 2 ointments together.... Oxytetracycline (LA 200) is often effective, give every other day at 1 cc per 30 pounds by SQ injection for 3 treatments. The milk withholding of oxytet is 12 to 18 days. It is safe to feed kids or other animals the milk, I would drink it but it is not safe to sell it. Maggie Leman Goat 911 Capri Medic | ||

We've been in the goat business for about two years and have come across something we've never seen before. One of our does has an outbreak on her udder. There are several small sores that scab over. It doesn't appear to be painful for her, but, it does seem to be spreading. I have to move the hair on her udder to see them, but, we can certainly feel them when we milk. Does anyone know what this is and how to treat it? Thanks for any help. Lisa |
