Our dwarf goat Thelma passed last year from what was probably bladder cancer. That's just a guess. It happened so fast. Then her sister Louise was diagnosed a few months ago with sebaceous carcinoma. The growth on her head was removed and it hasn't come back. She's 13 now. Then a weasel...

I'm looking at getting an adult neutered male pot belly pig. I would house him with our two Nigerian Dwarf goats. The goats were raised (by someone else) with chickens and dogs. One of our goats can be a bit of a bully with our chickens. Does anyone have a pot belly pig with their goats...
