Thank you Tim for this wonderful video, it has really exhausted the questions I had a bout what I used to call lazy does after giving birth
I am so glad you are posting this! I posted last week about a doe that just wouldn't commit to labor . We ended up losing her and the kid to ring womb.. This is only our second year kidding and I guess you could say we are getting the crash course. Emphasis on crash. We did however just end up wrapping up our season with all healthy kids and only one emergency vet visit ( almost two). I strive to keep my girls so healthy and pride myself on healthy happy does. So the fact that so much can go wrong despite your best efforts is humbling in the least. We are new to the game and haven't had time to build a heard of ideal does but we are on our way. Your videos are so helpful and I reference your channel often. One day I hope to start one for myself .. All the things that I learned the hard way !! Till then I will be keeping tabs on yours! Thank you again for all this info !!
Thanks, Lori. As you stated, there is a lot to learn and there is always something new that comes up. Things are always changing and there are always new and better ways to do things as new information and methods come out. If you want to make a channel about your farm, I don’t think there is any reason to wait. Even if you only have a few animals, there are lots of people who would probably like to see what you’re doing and you can still give valuable information. The value of what you have to offer is not limited to your flock size or your years in the industry. We see lots of large farms and people who have been doing this “forever” who refuse to learn new things or disparage those who try. Once you decide to get a channel together, let us know and we will be sure to subscribe. Best wishes to you and your family in 2023 and beyond.
Excellent video.Well said .
Thank you, Debrah. I appreciate you watching our videos and taking the time to leave us a kind message. Best wishes to you this New Year!
Could I ask a question? You mentioned IM for Banamime with sheep. We have always been instructed to just put it under the skin for sheep and not do intermuscluar. Do you find IM better?
@@debrahpawlyshyn8414 great question. I give most of my Banamine subq as well. Honestly, I give as much of my medications subq as possible. The literature regarding this situation and the results they gleaned is based on an IM injection. I suspect this is needed to get the heavy dose as soon as possible into the animal. In people medicine, medications such as this are almost always given IM as this is the fastest route of action (other than IV). There is no Banamine in human medicine but Toradol would be a similar med…. Anyhow, that’s the reasoning behind my post and my thoughts as to why they chose to give it in this manner. Great question. 👍🏻
Thank you!!
You’re very welcome!
Thank you so much for this video as I've always been a bit perplexed distinguishing between the conditions and eventually sent my partner to the pharmacy hoping for a kit to check for ketosis from a drop of blood.
I ended up with urine strips so you can imagine the frustration and hilarity that ensued getting a sample
Checking the pupils sounds waaaaay simpler :D
Thanks for your continued support, Magpye. It’s always nice to hear from you and we are happy we are still able to provide you with helpful information. Best wishes to you and your family this upcoming year!
Thank you Tim! Kidding time is three months away and I am already getting prepared and somewhat nervous. We had a doe die from pregnancy toxemia and it was a terrible way for her to die. (heartbreaking) Called the vet out twice for her and he refused to give her calcium IV. He said she was old and left it at that. Found a better vet now. The black sheep and lamb with the white markings are super cute. Are they Romanovs?
Hello, TJ. As you stated, you can never be too prepared. The black ewe in the photo is a cross between a Cormo, Romanov, and Corriedale. 👍🏻
Good eye. 😉
This was very helpful, but the timing was a little late. 😉
My ewe is doing excellent though. My guide to raising sheep said to use 4 oz of propylene glycol and 4 oz of glycerin. Thankfully she didn't have issues with it, but it's nice to know I don't need to use so much to get the job done! I suppose since you didn't mention glycerin that it's not necessary? Why would they prescribe the glycerin? Extra energy maybe?
Hello, Melissa. I hope you are doing well and Happy New Year to you. I’m not sure on the glycerine. I didn’t do a heavy duty search but I looked into it a little and I can’t find anything productive. I am going to assume the glycerine was included to act as some kind of pH buffer in the rumen. This is just me making assumptions though. To answer your other question, no. I don’t personally use glycerine or see anyone else directing it (in the literature I’ve read). As always, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It’s just know in my wheel-house of knowledge.
What if you milk a sheep or goat that has these illnesses. What would be the effect on humans
Hello. This would not have an effect on people. This is strictly a metabolic disorder caused by an imbalance of calcium or the animal being in ketosis. This should have no effect on the milk… HOWEVER: you would need to be 100% sure you are not dealing with a bacterial infection like listeria which can most definitely hurt you. To be on the safe side, we always advise not consuming milk from any animal that is sick. Not worth the risk. 👍🏻
Great question. Thanks for watching the videos. 👍🏻
@@LinessaFarms ok thanks. Whats the signs of listeria and what would it do to humans? Im going to have sheep in the spring.
@@kingdavidson7430it's the bacteria that says fk around and find out. Just don't. You will die sitting on the toilet.
