It is critical to follow your vet's directions! This can be stored in the body and over dose IS possible-with sometimes fatal effects. I have been instructed by my veterinarian to use this product at the rate of 1cc/40lbs body weight. Do not use in pregnant ewes. Goat producers agree that if this product is used in the case of suspected white muscle disease already showing symptoms of weak back legs, use of this product will show results within a few hours of treatment. |

| Colostrum Supplements and Replacers |
OTC |
Nutritional Supplement Do not confuse these two types of products. Newborns must have colostrum during the first hours after birth.(Preferably within the first hour! If the dam is colostrum deficient, use the colostrum replacer. The best colostrum replacer is frozen colostrum taken from does on your property who have already kidded. This colostrum will have the immunities needed for your particular location. If you don't have a supply of frozen colostrum, then you must use a commercially-prepared goat colostrum replacer. In such instances, usage of colostrum supplements along with the replacer is often helpful. Do not use colostrum or colostrum replacer beyond the first 24 hours of life, it is a waste of effort-babies cannot utilize it after 24 hours. Switch to goat's milk or whole cows milk. |
| CoRid |
OTC |
Oral Coccidiostat Treatment for Coccidiosis. Give kids 30-40 cc of mixture twice daily; adults should receive 70-80 cc twice daily. Confine the entire exposed herd to a single source of water for five consecutive days. Using the treatment dosage on the CoRid package, mix CoRid into the only source of water.

| Dexamethazone |
Rx |
A Cortico-Steroid-This is a very dangerous drug which should be used only under the supervision of a vet and as a last resort after other treatment has failed. Used for swelling and inflammation once infection is under control. Do not use if broken bones exist, it interferes with bone repair. Can cause abortion, so do not use on pregnant does. Vets use Dexamethazone to induce labor in pregnant does when the slow introduction of labor over a 48-hour period is desired. Dex interferes with the functioning of the goat's immune system. And usage of this drug must be tapered off slowly; serious health problems can occur if Dex is given in large amounts and then suddenly stopped. Tapering off over five days is a normal procedure, i.e. reducing the dosage each day for five consecutive days. Dosage varies depending upon the problem being treated. Keeps best in warm climates when refrigerated |

Excellent broad-spectrum antibiotic for respiratory illnesses (pneumonia). Comes in two bottles...one bottle contains a powder which must be kept refrigerated and another bottle of sterile water.
