I have a doe with a uterine infection. She kidded 3 weeks ago. My vet has prescribed tetracycline injections. Is it safe for her 2 bucklings to nurse while she is on them? If not, how long should I wait? Also, I cannot find info on the withdrawal period for injected tetracycline, only for topical. Does anyone know the withdrawal period for human consumption and, if necessary, for the bucklings? I don't like giving antibiotics at all, but my vet is concerned that this infection has been going on for this long.

Why not call your vet?

Some people age like fine wine. I aged like milk … sour and chunky.

I have talked to my vet. While she is an excellent vet and we really like her, she is not holistic or organic in practice. I was looking for advice from that perspective.

If you try to please everybody, your progress is limited by the noisiest fool. And this tiny ad:
