Causative
Agent: It is normal for a doe to have low calcium
Clinical
Signs: Loss
of appetite, mild bloat or constipation, unsteady gait, weakened uterine
contractions, and eventually low body temperature and inability to stand.
Treatment:
Calcium Borogluconate, 50 to 100 ml of a 20-25% solution, given very
slowly, IV or SQ, split into 4 sites.
Note: If you have a different calcium product that combines the calcium
with phosphorus or dextrose, do not use it. If you
give those products by SQ injection, they
will form abscesses.
Prevention:
Contagious
To Humans: no
