Goats need copper and zinc. Normally they can get that from a salt lick. But we have one goat that won't touch anything with zinc in it. Then he gets a deficiency and his hair falls out. Early last week wife tried zinc cough drops. Now that's his new favorite thing and his hair is already starting to grow back. Hopefully it want cause some other problem. We checked the ingredients and doesnt seem it will.

@Phil@freeatlantis.com That's how I get zinc from elderberry zinc cough drops. Regular zinc messes with my stomach, but must be something about the elderberry that helps me absorb it. I'm glad to hear your goat is getting better.
