    DRUGS TO HAVE ON HAND FOR EMERGENCIES

Some of these drugs are available through your veterinarian only.

                       Long Acting Penicillin: OTC

                       Banamine: RX- smooth muscle disease relaxant, helps with pain, fever, respiratory distress

                       it is an anti-prostaglandin (helps prevent lose of pregnancy  due to injury of stress)

                      antiendotoxin (helps to prevent organ damage due to toxins produced by infectious organisms)

                      Nuflor: RX- Drug of choice for pneumonia. 6cc SQ/100lbs loading dose, followed by 3cc/100lbs SQ  

                      per day for 4 days minimum.  Cattle regime does not work well on goats. They relapse and die.

                      Vitamins: Thiamin, Vitamin B :RX- used to treat and prevent polio. Any infection can

                      precipitate death of rumen and small intestine organisms that produce all B complex vitamins

                      Pathogenic organism overgrowth can occur precipitating polio.  I prefer the 500mg/ml Thiamin

                      injectable.

                      Vitamin B 12 Cyanocobalamine: used to treat anemia, appetite stimulant

                      B Complex Vitamins: used for stress and appetite loss due to illness

                      Vitamin AD&E injectable- used to combat deficiency due to drought. Goats do not carry a

                      pregnancy well, lactate well, and tend to have retained placentas when there is vitamin A

                      deficiency.  Alfalfa can be supplemental to augment the condition, but often ADE injection

                      2cc IM or SQ will speed up process. The usual source of vitamin A is green forage.  Free choice

                      mineral should be available at all the times with a 2:1 Calcium Phosphorus balance.  Mineral

                      should contain all trace minerals available.

                      Selenium Deficiency:  Selenium products: RX- MuSE, BoSE

                      Polyserum: OTC this is antibodies to Actinomyces Pyogenes, P. Hemolytica, P. Multocida,

                      Samonella, and E. Coli: Passive immunity to these diseases during illness or injury.

                      CD Antitoxin- Treatment for Enterotoxemia types C & D.

                      Tetnus Antitoxin- Used to prevent Tetanus in wounded, castrated, or dehorned animals.

                      Pepto Bismol- Antacid, anti-gas, antibacterial; used to treat bloat which is usually Enterotoxemia. 

                      It is also used in scours to help prevent dehydration.

                  7% Iodine-treat, disinfect wounds.

                      Scarlet oil- antibacterial, keep flies off wounds.

                      Furacin ointment- to dip ear tags in to prevent infection at application.

                      Wound Kote- wound spray that seals wounds to moisture and contamination.

                      Listerine: used to clean skin for injection, to clean eyes

                                       from pus from pink eye. Used as a general

                                      disinfectant, much better than alcohol.

                      Vet wrap- used to  cover wounds

                      3cc syringes

                      12cc syringes

                      18 gauge needles 1/2" x 3/4" long

                      20 gauge needles 1/2" x 3/9" long

                      feeding tube

                      60cc syringe with irrigation tip

                      50% Dextrose- OTC for use in pregnancy toxemia and to make Revive

                      Amino Acid Solution (not concentrated) OTC ingredient in Revive

                      Cal-Dex: A dextrose product with calcium used in pregnancy toxemia, or milk fever.

                      Calf Pac-live probiotic product in powder form, that has 5 live organisms and will keep without

                      refrigeration.

This is a list of products and drugs that I use to

treat illness or injury.  These are things that work for me.
