ANEMIA PROTOCOL
How often you dose is determined by the severity of the case. If you are in an acute situation, dosing 4-6x daily is appropriate. If you have solved the underlying cause of anemia and are supplementing long term to restore health, 1-2x daily is appropriate. Use your judgment and intuition to determine what your specific animal needs, but importantly, do not use this protocol without also addressing the underlying cause through a protocol specific to the issue.
Anemia Recipe for a Single Dose
Instructions are for miniature goats; double the amounts below for standard sized goats.
🔸1 tablespoon blackstrap molasses
🔸1 teaspoon seaweed of your choice or total combination of multiple types
🔸1 teaspoon nettle leaf
🔸1 teaspoon chlorella powder
🔸1/8 teaspoon cayenne powder
🔸enough water to form a slurry
Dosing Frequency
For acute situations where the animal is in serious condition, we will dose this orally 4-6 times per day. Intuition is important here – only you can assess your animal directly and know how much it needs. I like to dose on a step-down basis as follows:
✅Begin with the highest dose and assess at the end of the day.
✅If the animal has shown improvement, step down by one dose the following day.
✅If the animal stays the same, continue that day’s dosage frequency the next day.
✅If you have stepped down a dose and the animal worsens, go back to the previous dose, assessing at the end of every day.
✅Continue stepping down with improvement of symptoms by one dose daily until no doses remain, always following the assessment and deciding daily if the dose should decrease, stay the same or increase.
✅For long term care, you can double the dose and give it once daily or follow the instructions in the linked article to dose free choice.
