    Doe with Diarrhea and Lameness — HELP!!

    Even with an appetite it could be parasites?? I wouldn’t doubt it seeing how the folks I got her from never used wormer and had the goats on pasture. It’s just strange that she’d be eating so much. Either way, I will definitely be talking with a vet. Thank you.

    Doe with Diarrhea and Lameness — HELP!!

    Yes, her ribs and spine are easily felt, though she has an appetite that is normal. I’m not sure when she’s due, as the folks we bought her from had her in a herd with a buck, and they couldn’t tell me when she was bred. Her temp is 102. Her FAMACHA is at about D4.

    Is my Nubian Doe pregnant?

    Thank you for your welcoming and advice. I would put my state (California), but as we have such a diverse climate being such a large state, it wouldn't give folks a very good idea of the weather conditions. In any case, as the thread title states, she is in fact a Nubian. She is always with the...

    Is my Nubian Doe pregnant?

    Hi there, I know it's hard to tell over the internet, but I wondered if any trained eyes may be able to spot if my Doe is pregnant or not. She's never kidded before and her udder hasn't dropped, but she's gotten rather round and walks around blatting at nothing. Can't tell if she's just got hay...
