My husband is sick again ...he always catches gross stuff from people at work and doing community work. Every strain of cold, flu, stomach virus.. all that.. he gets it. Fortunately, I usually stay clear and avoid catching his cooties ..I think I have germ'aphobia :p

Anyhoo.. I seem to be presenting with some colorful stuff now, and I am concerned that Phoenix or the girls can pick this up from me. Phoenix, especially, does NOT need to be sick ..he's still small/low weight, but gaining ..and he's been compromised a lot in his past. The girls, on the otherhand, big heifers.. LOL ...they could probably handle a little sniffle, if they could catch it from me.

Are they at risk? What can I do to prevent contaminating them, if they are?


Thanks.. and yes, I am aware that I am a worrywart... but I feel it's better to know these things than to let them fall by the wayside without ever asking for clarification :)
 
If I feel anything I have is respiratory related I stay as clear from the chinnies as I can. If you have to feed them make sure your hands are clean, put something over your mouth and get in and out.
 
Thank you!

I wash up between all the "kids" ..and I have masks here.. I'll grab one! ;)
