On this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Katie Jackson of Central Kentucky Small Ruminant Veterinary Services LLC to break down the differences between legal, extra-label (off-label), and illegal drug use in the dairy goat world. Because so many medications are not specifically labeled for dairy goats, properly treating a sick animal can quickly become complicated.

Dr. Jackson helps clarify what’s allowed, what’s not, and how to make responsible, informed treatment decisions for your herd.
