Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Can she take a bath in oatmeal? Whirr it up into fine powder in the blender and add about 1/4 cup to a warm bath. It should help the itching.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Make some lemon verbena cream. If nothing else mash up some lemon verbena, or wet some dried stuff down and mix it with a very light lotion that doesn’t have any scents in it or extra stuff. Then slather it on. If you have enough lemon verbena you can just spread it on the skin once it is macerated. You could also use the oil diluted and rub down with that. The other thing is calamine lotion, if you can find it. And of course, the oatmeal bath will help with the redness and the itching.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 EEEk- is there any jewel weed around yet? A jewel weed juice or vinegar extract is amazing- someone may sell some on line- It is a good thing to make when the plants are out, and freeze for instaces like this(no, theres none in my freezer!) Homeopathic Rhus tox can be helpful(made from poison ivy) Ill think some more.... Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 I hope someone would be able to get back to me fairly quickly. Our goat has an abscess on the top of her neck. Could someone tell me what abscesses are caused by? Could they be caused by their necks rubbing on the edge of a fence every day, several times a day? You see, our goat is in with our 4-H leader's herd right now. She doesn't have a stall to feed the goats in so what she does is put the hay just outside the fence and lets the goats put their heads through the holes in the fence to get at the hay. Because of this, the top of our goat's necked is rubbing against the fence on a regular basis. The idea she gave us is that abscesses can only be caused by diseases. Is this true? Can they only be caused by diseases? She gave me the name of one disease that she thinks is causing it. I can't even remember the name of it because she used this long medical name. All I know is that it begins with an L and that it is a virus. What could you tell me about it and how I could treat it instead of putting her down??? Our 4-H leader told me that if the abscess returns she will refuse to let us keep our goat there anymore and will even require us to put our goat down. What can you tell me to do??? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 24, 2002 Report Share Posted November 24, 2002 Becky, I have e-mailed you privately with a url with lots of goat raising articles. Please let me know if you don't get it and I'll try again. Marti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
