    Just stopping in to say..

    I'M STILL ALIVE! :D I haven't been on here at all in the last month and a half because I live in Toronto for school (York U) and my mum hasn't really been updating me as to whats going on at home, I expect, because at this point its really irrelevent since I can't do much about things at all...

    Goat detained on armed robbery charges.

    It's those eerie eyes *shifty eyes* I swear, the goats are looking right through me sometimes.

    Does this look like CL?

    Sure will =] Cissy's abscesses are healing so they aren't all blown up anymore, but I can get a photo of the one by her jawline probably tomorrow.

    Does this look like CL?

    From what I can see, it looks pretty far forward to be CL, like a lot far forward... on the cheek even. I'm not an expert, but I have a goat with a healing CL lump right at the jawline lol and it's not pretty, and the shape as well as location doesn't look right to me, but would need a better...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Well.. Mum and I talked it over and we're going to tell the vet this, since she'll give us Case-bac. We're going to vaccinate both girls with Case-Bac. I've done some reading that says its been effective in already infected goats, its worth a shot right? Then in 4 or 5 months we'll reevaluate...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    I know. Its truly weird. And now they're coming up like crazy. Mione doesn't have any YET. But its very likely she will eventually. We may have to keep them, and just keep letting them burst/lancing them. Since its this bad on the surface with Cissy, its entirely possible she already had them on...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Well the vet called. Cissy is positive for CL and its advancing like rapid fire here. She already has 2 more abscesses starting since the last one. Mione most likely has it now as well. The real kicker is that now we cannot take them to auction since Cissy always has an open sore, we can't sell...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Yeah well the tests have already been sent off by the vet, she took a sample of the pus from Cissy's abscess when she lanced it Sunday morning. We'll know the results of that before I can get everything set up for WADDL. Remember, I have to order my Vacutainers because none of the stores carry...

    Goat Starter List

    Add VacuTubes (Vacutainers) to that list! For emergency blood-draws for tests :)

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Heres a good thing! The good thing is, mostly for future reference, is that WADDL does take submissions from Canada! I emailed them and just got a response saying they do. Unfortunately at this stage it'll probably be just as long as the vets submissions are going to take what with getting...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Yeah and a necropsy is probably not financially viable at this point.

    Hi-tensile fencing ?

    hehehe..

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Yeah, thats how I feel. We have puppies once a year and the risk of something happening to them is pretty great. Cissy is coughing now, =/ , mum is talking about euthanasia at the moment with the vet on the telephone. Coughing is not a very good sign. The vet is perplexed by it. She said...

    DIY barn repair

    Okay, so I found photos of my little barn that looks just like yours (siding and all!) Here are the before shots. Sadly you can't really see the extent of the damage to the foundation but I can tell you! Oh the left side close to the house about half of the footings had crumbled away. This...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    Unfortunately the problem is in the long run we cannot seperate her out and quarentine her. We had hopes for our little herd and the sheer cost of building, vet and other things is totally throwing them aside. Cissy can live out a happy life and have a great time but she can't live it out here...

    Cissy is positive for CL, vet is trying to convince not to euthanize.

    I have a purple and white pygmy cross =/ She's going to be spotted soon if these cysts don't stop popping up. Anyone have ideas on draining this new one, I can't afford to call the vet out for another $200 bill. She was scratching it today, but its small... just about the size of the first cyst...

    Hi-tensile fencing ?

    Haha me either! I have a 40lb and a 60lber in plastic chainlink ;) and just the other day saw a small herd of full size goats and sheep in plastic chainlink on t-posts, happy as clams.
