Thank you very much Brendasue for the response. I thought she was doing somewhat better. Kept the CG away from her and she started eating quite a bit until two days ago. I ended up catching her tonight and she didn't put up a fight at all. Hadn't ate in two days. She's in my barn now-Can't see any wounds or punture sites....Good thought on the lawn insecticide...Gave her an antibiotic this evening...figured it couldn't hurt her until I can get ahold of my vet in the morning. Not sure she'll even make it to the morning. Have read alot of info and it appears many of the diseases are treated with antibiotics...Just hate feeling so helpless... I'm afraid you might be right-she could be alot older than 10 and I have no way of knowing....Atleast I know nothing can hurt her right now...Will keep you posted. Thanks again for your kind suggestions - Micky_2009

Gorgeous lawn, joec1.

Jeff, I'm not totally sure how you would have so much goosegrass. It really needs disturbed or bare and wet sites to germinate. Obviuosly by now I would not treat it since some frosts will kill it. I would advise to improve those areas to help keep it out in the future. Most annual grassy weeds can be kept out with good turf density and management practices.

I have been looking into neem and what I don't like are all the websites that say it is good for everything and totally safe (paraphrase). It is presented as almost a 'miracle' product. What I have read is that it is safe for beneficials as they are not directly being sprayed and not feeding on the sprayed plant directly. Is this not accurate? For indoor use, you are unlikely to have beneficials present, anyway. Right now, I need something for the leaf roller cats on my citrus. I started with handpicking. Then it's gonna be Bt or neem, or both (ideally rotating). Aside from ag chemicals, also consider they myriad of other substances (and breakdown products) that ends up in our water, in general. Here's an example: "Most of the triclosan is removed in waste water treatment plants. However, a U.S. Geological Survey found the antibacterial in nearly 58% of freshwater streams. What does that mean for the food and soil irrigated with water from streams? As triclosan breaks down, it can turn into other harmful compounds. The breakdown of triclosan produces more effective hormone disruptors." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/05/160525121602.htm
