You need to post your honey cures, if you haven’t on this thread. And the mixture you fed the goats after they kidded.

If the udder is bleeding, use/pour on Peroxide to stop the bleeding, be sure the udder is clean and with clean hands, smear a good fresh honey on it.

Use same treatment for humans.

After kidding, 2 gallons of hot water, a good handful of salt and one to 2 cups of honey.

It will replace the chemicals that the stress of birthing takes out.

There is a medical name for it too, some kind of shock.

For goats, they can do the shock bit, but will also get a caked udder and can die, as women do.

From a granny vantage point, not a trained one, I think it takes the salt and sugar out of the blood, and if women were given honey and salt to replace it, it might take care of some of those after birth blues, you know the ones we hear about and sometimes leads to drowning all your kids, cause you can’t handle it all.

I don’t know how many women I have heard say “I have never been strong since the baby came”.

Did anyone check the blood of the woman?

So, If I ever attend a birth, they are getting honey and salt.

That is about all you need, except vinegar in the drinking water, or lemon juice if you can afford it.

In the heat, my cats, dogs, poultry, and goats get a dash of vinegar in the water, just as we put a slice of lemon in our water when thirsty.

Mary said during the depression, they could not afford lemons in the water, so used vinegar.

And it is cold tonight.
