Goats and Vitamin B Complex

What is Vitamin B Complex and why does my goat need it?

Great question! Lets dig into this further.

Vitamin B Complex is a fortified, high-potency, injectable multi-vitamin solution that is used to aid in the relief of B vitamin deficiencies, and to provide supplemental nutritional vitamins to your goat.

Vitamin B Complex is given as an intramuscular injection. You can give this in the neck muscle, the butt muscle or under the armpit muscle.

Give Vitamin B Complex when your goat:

• Is sick

• Has worm overload such as Barber Pole (or Bottle Jaw)

• Has gone OFF feed

• Has symptoms of Polio

I like to keep this on hand at all times, for me it is quicker and easier than running to the store or waiting for a delivery when I notice signs of illness or worms in my goat.
