From the diagnosis of the diseases of the goats in the sometimes remote villages, to the preparation of the prescription for the medication, to the ordering of the same in a veterinary pharmacy in Bukavu 180km away (see the corresponding report), the collection there, the onward transport by lorry to our depot in Kamituga, the coordination of the treatment appointments in the individual projects, the renewed transport of the medicine by motorbike to our colleague René in Kitutu, 45km away, and from there to the individual project villages, a total of over four weeks have passed. All this is tedious – but rewarding!

The vet also took the opportunity to provide information about infection routes, prevention and treatment.

As you can see, not every goat likes injections… 😄 (see video below)
