We just started the ivomectrin yesterday evening so I will look into these others just in case. I have not shaved him but have rubbed his leg up and down and nothing.

Has anyone had an issue w/ a goat getting the disease caused by deer worms??? I have a billy who startedhowing signs of limping about a month ago. I figured it was due to all the wet weather we have had around here. Maybe causing hoof problems. After a couple days of cleaning his hoof and...

I have a couple pygmy does that look like death warmed over!! One of them had kids this past winter but they are now sold and she is still not looking better. The other had a kid but tlost it young and still looks like a rack of bones. They are getting all the hay they want, grass and weeds of...

I have had the same problem here for the first time this year with 2 of my goats. I talked to several people and read alot about foot scald online and I really believe that is what it was. I took and cleaned then soaked it in warm bleach water. I then took LA200 and put it directly on the...

What would be a reasonable life span for the rubber insulators? We have had them on now for about 8 years!! Should we switch them out?

Our fence has the rubber tubing insulators. Have u ever tried those and or how do u like them? We are wondering if they are causing problems

To all og you who use the parma charger, do any of u also have a parmac fence tester? We bought one that should read up to 19.9. We tested the fence but even when our charger is reading 17.7. the tester is bouncing from 10.0 - 13.2 Not sure if i understand how this could be. Can anyone shed...

Can anyone give me some advice on ear tags? We have used several different ones and they seem to fade within a short amount of time

I had to bottle feed several Pygmys this past winter and found that they do alot better on whole cow's milk. I have read alot of negative things about milk replacer but there was a couple times I did have to use it. My vet turned me to an all species which is suppose to be easier to digest. It...

I have a 4 month old Angus that has been bottle fed from birth. I recently dropped her to 1 bottle a day and she gets all hay she will eat and about 2 cups grain twice daily. How much grain should I be giving her and when can I totally stop bottle?

Thanks for the quick reply. We didnt know for sure how high it actually would read and have found no material on that subject either. If u are reading 17.2 than we are ok also. What kind of ground rods if any did u use? From the dealer to electrician there is an argument on cooper or...

We just bought a Par Mac RM1 100 mile fence Charger. It is a 6.6 joule. When we hooked it up today, the digital display on charger is reading 17.5. We thought it could only read up to 16.0 . Does anyone have any experience w/ this charger or know the highest it could possible read if fence is...

Im glad u asked this question because I have been wondering myself. Also, Will the older bucks ( 4 and 5 yrs old) be a bother to a 3 month old doe? She is so tiny that I wouldnt imagine anything happening but do not want to take any chances.

She is now drinking on here own and has realized there will be no more bottles!!! So first chance I get, she is getting the boot also!!

And here is Miss Bailey!!

I know it sounds crazy and coming from someone who does not allow pets nor any animal in the house, IT HAS BEEN A LONG # MONTHS!! She was born the first of Jan. w/ a twin in frigid temps. Mom didnt want them and temps were so low they would not register on thermometer!!! I lost the twin the...

Oh My!! After about the last 2 hrs of yelling, I decided to clean Bailey's cage and give her some fresh grain and water before retiring for the night. As usual she gulped up the grain and stood there bellowing at me. I poured some warm water without the kyro this time ( we are all out) into her...

I have had the same problem here w/ a billy goat and I have used a livestock dust. It seemed to work when we used it last yr so I decided to use it again. I cant answer about the baby though, I have never used it on a young goat at all.

Just giving everyone an update. Bailey has not had a drink since yesterday evening. I could not tell that any had been drank thru the night. I put her out this morning w/ out the morning milk bottle and just brought her in about an hr ago. Put in some fresh warm water w/ molasses and she sniffed...

Went out this morning and found that my 5 yr old nigerian billy was limping. It seems to be in the hoof area but yet doesnt look like it needs trimmed. It has been very wet and muddy around here lately. I cleaned his hoof w/ bleach then put LA300 directly on it. Now he also is showing signs of...
