Thank you for your compassion @smithlabs

@bukaroo Thank you for the window into a four legged family member! I look at goats differently now, she was so obviously a sweet girl!

I use Colloidal silver on my Dachshunds for infections, should work on goats too. I use 500 PPM silver.

:'(

Thanks @smithlabs colloidal silver is amazing (have you heard of colloidal gold?) I use it a lot, although more the colloidal silver gel for wounds and burns or stings. The infection was in her udder. I did "inject" there but to no avail. I suspect because of her age she couldn't cope with the infection

Age gets us all eventually, I use it systemically (by mouth) and it will work unless it is a virus. I trust it a lot.

I have not heard of the gold, what is the advantage?

I sometimes use comfrey tincture for painful areas, and it seem to penetrate well and will help kill infection by healing past it. It does wonders on Recluse bites!

I had never seen a goat snuggle before; she was obviously a happy girl!

:)

Colloidal gold is new to SA. I'm just hearing about it and curious to know what the results are. Apparently even more incredible than colloidal cold. Thanks for the comfrey tip. Do you make tincture yourself? I use the leaves - bruised - for injuries but haven't made the tincture though I'd like to

I did a three part series on how to make comfrey tincture in August. It is hard to make, but too expensive to buy, so I make it, ROFLOL!

I would be happy to walk you through it, if you decide to try. :) Here is the link to the how too:

Just a little light reading. Let me know if you have questions.

Enjoy decocting the comfrey roots!
