Antibiotics for: Respiratory diseases, pneumonia Abcesses and cuts, Udder diseases such as mastitis, Foot diseases: Foot rot, strawberry foot, Pink eye, Chlamydia, Staph infections, Enterotoxemia, PeritonitisI am unsure as to your request. Are you asking for herbal treatments to replace the antibiotics normally supplied by conventional medicine in these conditions? If so, unfortunately I will not be able to help as herbal medicine cannot be employed as a direct replacement for pharmaceuticals. The use of herbs as medicine is more than "take this for that illness". It is a whole programme that seeks to find the cause of an ailment; treatment may involve diet, change in environment, change in husbandry techniques, etc. as well as the internal or external use of herbs.
Treatments for: Grain overload, bloat, grass tetany Poisoning, Pregnancy toxemia, Dystocia - difficult kidding, Hypothermia.Please see my comments above. Given the number of conditions with which you are concerned, I would recommend that you seek an ongoing relationship with a qualified practitioner in your area who has experience with both goats and herbs. Such a person may be found through the Veterinary Botanical Medicine Association (www.vbma.org). Beyond that, you might want to look at books such as Juliette de Bairacli-Levy's "The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable" and George Macleod's "Goats: Homeopathic Remedies".
