In answering a question below, Vicki McGaugh recommended a web page. I looked at it and I have never seen a better explanation about ketosis and toxemia, a comparison of the two. I sure would have been better off (or my goats would) if I had seen this information years ago. I printed it off to keep for my own reference, and urge others to do the same. Even though I do have several good books and a Mercks this is still the best I've seen. This web page address is with Vicki's answer to "Update on foamy mouthed goat".

Thanks Dianne, here it is again. http://hometown.aol.com/goatlist/hypocal.htm

It is also listed on saanendoah.com If everyone with goats would copy Joyce's site, her med info, her serious goat stuff, read the info on copper and fecals, and put it in a three ring binder, now THAT would be a Goat Vet Text! Vicki
