Is that a rectal temp? Not fun!
Yep, it is! (: It is the first thing I check on a goat that I think might be sick. It can give you a good clue what you are dealing with. Just don't forget to label the thermometer "goats" so no person accidentally uses it. (we clean them but still...EWWW!)
Thanks for sharing this, good info.

Yeah, that would NOT be good! Reminds me of the label on rectal thermometers-that they are all PERSONALLY tested before leaving the factory. What??
Amy- Thank you!
Kelly - LOL!
