Since mine are only 4 and 5 mos old, I just flip them on their back and hold them like a baby, but with their head behind my bicep, holding their hind legs together with my left hand and trimming with my right hand. First couple times required some effort and a little struggle, however...

Probios dispersible powder. It suggests 1/2 teaspoon for "All Other Pets" but wanted to check here as it didn't specifically say rabbits

Test results are negative for any parasitic bacteria, coccida, etc. only thing not tested for is e-coli. So, it looks like it is diet related considering the lack of sick behavior in the goat. Thank you everyone for your help, advice and suggestions. Also, how do I switch over to a...

Called county extension, no water testing available. During next feeding, baby did another runny poop. Used q tips and brought sample to vet. Results should be ready within the next 20mins. Prior to test, vet suggested milk replacer as a potential culprit if no biologicals are found in...

Well, I woke up, went out to the goat pen and now I can't find any poops to bring in for testing. I cleaned them all up before posting that I'd be getting a fecal test done. No poop stuck on his anus this morning either. My wife and I were discussing our plan of action and now we believe...

Correct.

So far, all has been yellow.. looks like normal color, but more runny than before

Sorry, but I did not get any Pm from you, two, how do you suggest I give him CorRid without mixing it into anything? Should I shove the powder down his throat undiluted? The directions on the package state to mix it with water... As for him not wanting the bottle, he's been suckling the...

While shopping for medications and vaccines for my goats, I come across a vaccine for pasturella for sheep, goats and cattle. Why isn't this used for rabbits as well?

One, because the mixing instructions are 1 cup powder to 2qts water. It's not an actual cup of powder, it's one level cup of the one included in the package, 10oz I think, and I have no means of measuring ounces, so 2qts it is at a time. Two, because I have more than 1 baby goat. Anyway...
