It was 103.3 aa 12:50pm this afternoon.
That's still without any aspirin since yesterday evening.

102.3 at 9:40pm this evening.

Last meds she had were this morning at about 9:20 or so.

We went ahead and gave her her B and TP again after we checked her temp.
We're sooo happy her fever appears to have broken and has been so for 24 hrs now. WOOHOO!!!!!!

So Yvonne, do you think we're on the up now?

GOOD JOB!!
Yes if she has maintained her body temp, then I would say you are on the up..However, keep up the TP for the remainder of the 5 days. You can discontinue the B Vitamin tomorrow, if she is still doing good.

Alrighty, I'm going to keep up with the TP for the remainder of the 5 days. Question for you again, is the 5 days including when we first started with it Friday, or from when we started with giving her 4 cc's?

I'm so glad she's maintaining it own her now, with the help of the Lord. We just keep praying it'll stay down.
I'll update you in the morning on her, Lord willing.

Thanks again so much!

Count from Friday...

Alrighty, will do.

It was 101.5 at 9:45am this morning.
We're so happy it's staying down now. It was 101.5 with her laying in the sun also.

boy thats all so scary.

when I first started reading i was like, that high of a temp and still up and eating somethign must be up with her thermometer! I try to check temps with two thermometers just to be sure that one isn't reading to high or to low.

Sounds like you are on the right track.

We ended up checking it with 3 to be exact.

We had a newer one, an older one and had mom pick up a new one at Wally World Friday.
All three of them were reading the same, so we figured out of 3 of them, they had to be right. Lol :P

The last time I had a sick goat I used three too. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one so anal about things.

LOL Jamie!! I just question it sometimes. Especially when she acted fine in every other way. She felt a little hot but it wasn't enough (I thought) to be 107.

She's at 101.5(I think, Sarah checked it tonight while I took care of Pandora), and this was around 9:30 or so. She's doing good still.

Good job, youngun!

goatsrule2003 · by **goatsrule2003** on Tue Jul 15, 2008 9:57 pm

Thanks Jamie!

All is still well this evening. She's finished up all shots and dimethox. Tomorrow evening after the pen is out of her system will be another test.

Please keep your fingers and hooves crossed!!!!
Thanks!
Sharon

*.....trying to find my hooves to cross....* :-o

Good, Thanks Youngun'!

You just keep searching and as soon as you find them, cross them. :P

I'm hoping it all goes well. She's still eating fine, etc. etc., and not showing any signs of anything else. So I'm keeping my hopes up.

Thanks again!
Sharon

I found I had one thermometer that was off so I know the benefit of checking with multipul ones.

Thats good news Sharon.
