Happy First Birthday Khloe!

Natural Healing: Wattle Cyst

I have a Confession and a Testimonial at the same time:

I discovered that Khloe had a Wattle Cyst... I posted about it on  a Totally Natural Goat Facebook group that I am a member of and got some great advise on taking care of it using Infection both internally and externally as a Salve and Drench.

However, I had to order herbs and then my father passed away. With that and my being gone more then 6 weeks, taking care of arrangements, helping my mom, moving her in with us and them moving her back to Texas... 

Well, I have to confess, I never actually started treating her Wattle Cyst.  I kept remembering and going I'll do it after this trip, or after this 5 day of rains...etc. However, I have been keeping an eye on it and it was slowly shrinking.

Here is the testimonial part... I think the Vitalerbs and the herbs in the deWormer  we use with added extra raw garlic can be attributed to healing her/making her healthy -- including allowing her body to take care of that cyst.

Goatling Fun in the Sun!

Khloe: Chronic Cough

Khloe, our 4 month old doeling,  has had a dry cough… nothing from her nose/no drainage. She seemed to cough the most when sticking her face in her feed, herbs and hay... but of course we are out there the most when she's getting fed so it is difficult to tell if she's coughing all the time or not.

I called the vet she wanted us to do a full on treatment of antibiotics as a precaution to protect her and the tribe. Does not need to see her though to listen to her lungs or the like...  I do not like that idea so much. There had to be a natural way to do this.

I read up on cough’s in Kat's book and she says that coughs are not always bad… they are healing and helping the body right itself. So, I asked the Totally Natural Goat's Group on Facebook that I am  a member of... just what could I do to support/heal her without going the Vet’s route of drugs by needles.

Well, I  have been treating Khloe for the chronic cough with a herbal mixture... 3 times a day, 6 days straight. Yesterday was day seven, her day of rest.... which is recommended to be taken when doing natural healing by the many Herbal Masters. This morning, there was noticeable improvement in her.... only a little hack or two and she seemed a little more vibrant.

So, now I am going to follow up with 6 more days, 3 times a day treatment or three days in a row of no signs/symptoms what so ever... whichever comes first.
