Goats: Ear Mights or/and Infections
Shiva
has been shaking her ears almost violently since yesterday. I figure
ear mites or an infection. I made a Vet appointment for tomorrow....
And then, well, I am second guessing myself. Going to cancel the
appointment and try this naturally. Went and got some pure Witch Hazel
and some Mullen Garlic Oil. So, here's our first adventure in natural
homesteading!
I cleaned each of the 3 kids ears with a cotton ball dabbed in a Witch Hazel, Tea Tree Oil and Lavender Oil mixture. I then dropped a few drops of Mullein Garlic Oil into each ear and massaged at the base of the ear.
Immediately afterwards they began shaking their heads like crazy again. Guess we'll see how it is in a few days. It's suggested you do this once a week as preventive care too.
Ok so how did this end up working for you? Not sure on profile, so it's Tracy Applegate
ReplyDeleteIt worked really well. They stopped being hassled by their ears in a few days. I do not do the weekly preventative care though.... I only treat them when they show symptoms.
