IMPORTANT, PLEASSE READ: The following information has been complied for general reference and educational purposes only, and is not intended as
a means of diagnosing and treating an animal. It is not intended, in any way to replace professional veterinary advice or care for your goats. The
information 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 myself
an 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 and
educational purposes only. This information is presented without any guarantee, and I disclaim all liability in connection with the use of this information. The
administration 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 disregard
veterinary 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 "extra
label" (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 their
use in goats). Extra-label use of any product in a food producing animal is illegal without a prescription from a veterinarian; that includes the milk
withdrawal information.
Note on absence of meat withhold information: We are vegetarian, and not raise or sell goats for meat or meat
related purposes. My site is for everyone, and I try to have it be thorough, but I do not gather information specific to
killing 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 do
have 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, I
began experimenting with Holistic, "Natural" & "Alternative" treatments. Nowadays I rely mainly on
these Holistic treatments. I will use Western Medicine if necessary, as it is more important to me that
my goats be well as opposed to being allied to any one medical practice. But, I will also add, that
since 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 or
Natural 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, of
any type since, 2002.

Since I don't use most Western Medicine drugs any longer, be aware that any information regarding Western
Medical 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 metabolize
things, Sub-Q shots work just as good as IM in almost all cases.. The general reasons
some 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 system
slower because the blood flow through this area (under the skin) is slower. Goats have
a high metabolism and not a huge amount of muscle mass. Because of this, shots
given 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 usually
more painful and can also cause tissle damage. If you do not have to, why cause more
pain, discomfort and stress than you have to? I care about my goats emotional health
as well as physical health. I care if they are stressed. Part of holistic health care is
keeping 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 a
result, goats require higher doses of drugs for effective treatment. Most of the drugs available for use
on 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 doses
given for goats on this site are "extra label" (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 their use in goats)

1 ml (milliliter) = 1 cc (cubic centimeter)
1 teaspoon = 5 ml (cc)
1 Tablespoon = 15 ml (3 teaspoons), 1/2oz
1 ounce = 30 ml (2 Tablespoons)

Epinephrine
Never 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 see
it 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 Shock
If 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 (also
known as adrenaline) must be administered immediately.
Dose: IM Injection
1 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 fresh
bottle each year is well worth it for the insurance and peace of mind. It's always the one time you
don'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 medical
treatments and I do not believe that giving antibiotics at the first sign of any illness is always the
correct response. I get many posts from people asking advice with their goat's health and so often I
hear "She had a runny nose, so I gave her antibiotics..." or "He couldn't stand, so I gave him
antibiotics..." Antibiotics are used to treat infection and using them as the first response to any
seeming health problem only breeds resistance to antibiotics, so when you actually do need the
antibiotic for the reason it is intended, it may no longer work. Also, please be aware that antibiotics
cause 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.

can be frozen for up to 8 weeks once the powder is reconstituted.
Naxcel may only be effective in the first days of the infection. Once past the first couple days it may
be recommended to another antibiotic.

6 of 15 7/26/2014 12:21 PM
For treatment of:
This is the preferred medication for the most the common causes of contagious keratoconjunctivitis
("pinkeye"), mycoplasma & chlamydia.
Used for metritis (uterine infection) following freshening.
Used for navel or joint ill in young kids (always treat joint/naval ill for a full 10 days).
Effective against most mastitis causing bacteria via systemic injection.
4.5ml per 100 lbs. every 36-48 hours. Administer 3 shots (one every 36-48 hours.)
OR
3ml per 100 lbs. once daily (this is the dosage I use)
For treatment of Pink Eye: administer a couple drops oxytetracycline directly into the eye as well as
giving the injections.
Milk withholding time: 12- 18 days
Notes:
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 consumed
milk, because it will not be effective.
Tetracycline, once the bottle has been used a while may become very dark (oxidizes), at which point
the 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 interfere
with 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 tetracycline
causes a chemical reaction that stops the effectiveness of Penicillin.
There is increasing resistance to oxytetracycline by many staph & strep organisms as well as strains
of E.coli.
Often used in conjunction with sulfas drugs such as sulfadimethoxine (Albon)
