How do you treat vent disease? I got a doe from one of the top HL breeders about 2 days ago along with 6 other animals from them and today, I flipped over the doe and her vent was swollen with scabs. I believe she is about 3.5 lbs. |

So sorry to hear about your doe. I have been fortunate not to have any vent disease here. Read about it though, and Penicillin G can cure it. Some say Neosporin, but I don't think that would actually cure it, but just hide the symptoms. Sorry, can't tell you the dosage, not a Vet. I'd definitely let the breeder know, well renowned or not. Also watch the others that were with the doe, very contagious I hear. Might want to treat them too possibly? Hoping for the best. Wouldn't mind an update? |

definitely need Penicillin. Can't recall the dosage, hopefully someone else will jump on. Fortunately it is one that is easily treatable. Very contagious, but only by contact - not airborne. |

What a bummer, but like others said it is treatable. Thankfully! I hope she recovers easily and that the others are well. Would love to see pics sometime! Hollands are my favorite.

I know to use pen g. I'm not sure what the dosage is though. And apparently, 2 of the others have it as well... the breeder claims he had no idea. bad breeder, bad.
