IMPORTANT, PLEASSE READ: The following information has been complied for general reference and educational purposes only, and is not intended asa means of diagnosing and treating an animal. It is not intended, in any way to replace professional veterinary advice or care for your goats. Theinformation presented here is not a comprehensive review these drugs and their uses. I am not a vet, do not pretend to be one, and do not consider myselfan expert on goat medicine. The following information was originally compiled my me, for my own use, from various sources (on-line, books, anecdotally,and person experience) that reported the successful use of the following on goats, in the amounts listed. I am sharing it with you for general reference andeducational purposes only. This information is presented without any guarantee, and I disclaim all liability in connection with the use of this information. Theadministration of all medications should be taken extremely seriously. Veterinary consultation is vital when diagnosing and treating sick animals. It is your,and your vet's, responsibility to make proper decisions concerning treatments and drug safety or effectiveness for a given situation. Never disregardveterinary advice, or delay in seeking it, as a result of information provided on this site. Please note that most of the doses given on this site are "extralabel" (Extra label means that the dosage given for goats differs from that found on the bottle and/or the Food and Drug Administration has not cleared theiruse in goats). Extra-label use of any product in a food producing animal is illegal without a prescription from a veterinarian; that includes the milkwithdrawal information.

Note on absence of meat withhold information: We are vegetarian, and not raise or sell goats for meat or meatrelated purposes. My site is for everyone, and I try to have it be thorough, but I do not gather information specific tokilling goats, and so, I do not have it to share. The information on this page was originally compiled for my own use;I have no personal need for meat withhold times so I never collected it. The medications listed below probably dohave meat withhold times; if you are looking for meat withdrawal information, you will have to research elsewhere.Personal note on "Orthodox" Medications:

After many years of using "traditional" Western Medical practices and medicines on my goats, Ibegan experimenting with Holistic, "Natural" & "Alternative" treatments. Nowadays I rely mainly onthese Holistic treatments. I will use Western Medicine if necessary, as it is more important to me thatmy goats be well as opposed to being allied to any one medical practice. But, I will also add, thatsince treating my herd in a Natural & Holistic manner, they have never been healthier and happier.Also, please think about what you are administering and why (whether it be Western Medicine orNatural Medicine), do your research and use ALL medications responsibly.Since I now practice mainly Holistic and herbal health care, I have not had the need to give a shot, ofany type since, 2002.

Since I don't use most Western Medicine drugs any longer, be aware that any information regarding WesternMedical drugs have not really not been updated since 2002.Types of shots/ the way that they are administered:

Intramuscular (IM)- Into the muscle.Subcutaneous (SQ, sub-Q, SC) - Given under the skin. Almost all shots for goats can be given SQ*

1 of 15 7/26/2014 12:21 PM

(even if the label says IM) with the exception of hormones, such as Lutalyse.

*Due to the nature of how goats are put together by nature, and how they metabolizethings, Sub-Q shots work just as good as IM in almost all cases.. The general reasonssome shots are given IM and some Sub-Q is because IM gets into the system faster,this is due to the blood flow through the muscles. Sub-Q shots will get into the systemslower because the blood flow through this area (under the skin) is slower. Goats havea high metabolism and not a huge amount of muscle mass. Because of this, shotsgiven Sub-Q will get into the goat's system almost as fast as IM.Why would your want to give shots Sub-Q as opposed to IM? IM shots are usuallymore painful and can also cause tissle damage. If you do not have to, why cause morepain, discomfort and stress than you have to? I care about my goats emotional healthas well as physical health. I care if they are stressed. Part of holistic health care iskeeping stress to a minimum. If I can give a shot with less pain, I will.

Important Note on Medication Dosages for Goats:

Goats metabolize medications differently than other animals; drugs clear their system faster. As aresult, goats require higher doses of drugs for effective treatment. Most of the drugs available for useon livestock are not labeled for use in goats and so are not labeled with the correct dose for goats. For a treatment to be effective, you need to use the correct dose. Please note that most of the dosesgiven for goats on this site are "extra label" (Extra label means that the dosage given for goats differs from that found onthe bottle and/or the Food and Drug Administration has not cleared their use in goats)

1 ml (milliliter) = 1 cc (cubic centimeter)1 teaspoon = 5 ml (cc)1 Tablespoon = 15 ml (3 teaspoons), 1/2oz1 ounce = 30 ml (2 Tablespoons)For more conversions, please see Measurements: Conversion Guides, Charts & CalculatorsRx = Vet prescription needed for this item.

EpinephrineNever give shots of any type without having epinephrine on hand!

Rx - Thanks to people making Meth, this is now to be found only by presciption (a real shame).Anaphylactic Shock:

If the animal collapses within seconds or minutes of an injection this could be Anaphylactic Shock. You'll seeit most often following an injection of a substance they've had before. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline)must be administered immediately.

For treatment of: Anaphylactic ShockIf the animal collapses within seconds or minutes of an injection this could be Anaphylactic Shock.You'll see it most often following an injection of a substance they've had before. Epinephrine (alsoknown as adrenaline) must be administered immediately.

Dose: IM Injection1 ml per 100 pounds

Notes:We have never, in all our years of goat keeping, had to use this, but the $3 we pay for a new freshbottle each year is well worth it for the insurance and peace of mind. It's always the one time youdon't have it that you may need it. We would never be without it.Did you see the movie Pulp Fiction? This is the shot they gave Uma Thurman.

Antibiotics

To calculate the weight of your dairy goat, please refer to our weight chart.Always give the full course of antibiotics. Administer at least five days even if the symptoms disappear. Stopping


5 of 15 7/26/2014 12:21 PM

antibiotics early often causes a recurrence, or allows the stronger bacteria to develop a resistance to the antibiotic.Continue to treat 24-36 hours after the animal is without symptoms.

Note on Antibiotics: I do not consider antibiotics the "be all, and end all, and cure all" of all medicaltreatments and I do not believe that giving antibiotics at the first sign of any illness is always thecorrect response. I get many posts from people asking advice with their goat's health and so often Ihear "She had a runny nose, so I gave her antibiotics..." or "He couldn't stand, so I gave himantibiotics..." Antibiotics are used to treat infection and using them as the first response to anyseeming health problem only breeds resistance to antibiotics, so when you actually do need theantibiotic for the reason it is intended, it may no longer work. Also, please be aware that antibioticscause great stress to the Immune System and negatively effect the digestive system.Please use antibiotics responsibly.

Drug Name:Ceftiofur sodium- 1mg/ml - Rx

Brand Names:Naxel

For treatment of:This is a broad-spectrum antibiotic used primarily for respiratory illnesses such as pneumonia.

Once past the first couple days it maybe recommended to another antibiotic.

Milk withholding time: 12- 18 daysNotes:

Do not confuse this drug with Tylan 200- it is NOT the same medication.The label recommends a dose schedule of 72 hours, but blood levels become too low after 48 hours.Oxytetracycline is counteracted by milk. Do not use in an animal that is nursing or has consumedmilk, because it will not be effective.Tetracycline, once the bottle has been used a while may become very dark (oxidizes), at which pointthe shot may painful, though still effective, when injected.As it ages, tetracycline tend to be degraded and become toxic.Do not use any tetracycline on pregnant does or kids under six months old because It may interferewith bone & teeth formation both in utero and while kids are growing.Do not give Oxytetracycline and Penicillin at the same time. When given together, the tetracyclinecauses a chemical reaction that stops the effectiveness of Penicillin.There is increasing resistance to oxytetracycline by many staph & strep organisms as well as strainsof E.coli.Often used in conjunction with sulfas drugs such as sulfadimethoxine (Albon)

Goat dose: SQ Injection1 ml per 25 lbs. once a day -Treat from 5-14 days, never less than 5. It should be used at least 5days and until all symptoms have disappeared, whichever comes first.


There is widespread resistance to both penicillin procaine and benzathine, and studies have shownthat the benzathine (long acting) form of penicillin has too slow an absorption time to reachrecommended therapeutic levels.Do not give Oxytetracycline and Penicillin at the same time. When given together, the tetracyclinecauses a chemical reaction that stops the effectiveness of Penicillin.
