I would continue as you are just letting nature heal her as best it can.

Posted on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 - 06:21 am:    I am at a loss as to what to do for her. Sylvia is still breathing heavily. However, she is acting fine, tail up, browsing, drinking water. She has received now 4 courses of Nuflor at 8cc SQ on 12/29, 1/1, 1/4, 1/7. Could the problem with her udder cause her to be stressed and result in this labored breathing? Her lungs do sound as if there is some fluid in them. I have tried to open the hard udder to put in Tomorrow, but can't. My husband put penicillin in the top of her udder which actually did reduce the hardness of her udder. The udder is looser and she has two hard spots. Our vet said absolutely do not inject the Penicillin in the udder. So we have stopped doing this. Her bottle jaw is almost gone now. I have taken the course to let her be a goat. Minerals (goat blend) are available free choice along with baking soda. She prefers to browse on pine needles and briers in the woods beside the house. Thank you for your help with her.
