Administering Oral Medications to Adult Goat - BuckOral Medicating an Adult Goat Buck AloneHow to Properly Drench a GoatPhotos of Medicating An Adult Buck OrallyNow I know some of you need to do as I do- medicate your goats when you are home alone. Well- it really is not difficult! All of my goats have horns which in my opinion makes it easier- and the photos show how to hold a full grown horned buck- If your goats do not have horns you will have to modify these instructions-![]() Place the Adult buck's horns between your legs to steady and hold him. ![]() Hold the goat under his chin to steady the head and hold him still. ![]() Hold Syringe with medicine to goat's mouth and wait to allow the goat to open his mouth-remember NO Needle on syringe. ![]() If the goat does not open his mouth voluntarily, then use your thumb to open it-Keep the head as level as possible to avoid him aspirating the liquid medicine into the lungs Remember to ALWAYS hold head level and never tilt upward or you take a chance of getting medication in the lungs! Place NeedleLESS syringe in mouth - to one side and on top of tongue as far back in mouth as you can without choking him. Allow him to swallow medication- rub his throat, Let go and give him a kiss on the nose YES! Give him a KISS on the nose! copyright 2002-2006 goatlady © 2006 All Rights Reserved. |
