Re: Inner ear infection in a goat kid

[Guest guest]

I'm just coming off a three week ear infection that had me pretty

scared..so lots of love to your kid from me. I had to turn to

antibiotics but was told to try edible almond oil or olive oil with

tea tree oil and lavender oil added to it AFTER soaking a garlic

clove in the oil for a day. I was going to do this in a little jar

and use an eyedropper for my ear. I don't know the proportions, nor

do I know if this will work for your baby goat. But maybe someone on

the NaturalHorseandPetCare group can help if no one here knows.
