Three must haves to keep in your show box, to treat bloat on the road

Mineral oil 2. Mylanta 3. Therabloat (poloxalene) Pro Tip - With typical frothy bloat, generally the animal is swollen in the upper left abdomen. Mineral oil is my first go to 30 to 60 cc oral by drench gun, followed by 15 to 30 minutes of walking. Therabloat also works on frothy bloat, sometimes, when mineral oil is not effective. Mylanta is a great anti gas, upset stomach, and acid reducer that works well when the sheep or goat is aired up on both sides, more than is acceptable in the show ring, or for a more chronic bloater that stays aired up all the time. It’s always good to have options available when usual practices fail!
