I have a 5 year old Nigerian Dwarf who was bred in November and appeared to have settled. Three weeks ago, I noticed a slight discharge but no other sign of being in heat. Yesterday morning she had quite a bit of thick white discharge. I use my friends buck, so I took her back yesterday, but she...
I'm hoping that's the case. After I gave her a "kidding clip," it looks like she may have a little udder development. But quite honestly, this might just be how she looked after I dried her up last fall - I couldn't tell because she was too hairy. This would be her second freshening - she...
What is the latest udder development you've seen in a pregnancy? This is my fourth kidding season, so I wouldn't think I would be asking such a basic question, but my girls have really thrown me for a loop this year. I have two Nigerians due in 2 weeks (or so I think). One is developing a very...
Can goats have allergies? I have a 2 year old Nigerian doe that has been coughing on and off for over a month. No temp, eating and acting fine. Once and awhile her one eye will be watery (clear). Her pen mates are fine. She is due to kid in a month. Any ideas?

Thanks Karen. Other than poop problems, we're doing great :) Hope all is well with you too. BTW- Ellie is starting to get an udder, so she obviously cooperated with Q when no one was looking ;)

I use the liquid for goats. I did not dose for three days. Never had anyone tell me that before. I've always done 1 dose and repeated it in 10 days. I gave her a dose yesterday, so I will count that as the first of three in a row. Safeguard is okay for the little one then? I'll...
I had a doe kid with quads two weeks ago tomorrow. First three were born without incident, the fourth was stuck and I had to really work to get him out. Mom was really stressed and swollen after. I dewormed her the next day with Safeguard and dosed her again yesterday. She started with...
I have a wether that will be 2 years old in March. He is my son's 4H goat - used for showmanship and pack. He is very friendly. Will make a great companion for your doe/buck. He would also be great for a 4H project. We need to make space for spring babies. You can see him at...
I'm sure she got close to that much. Because of my work schedule, I had decided yesterday to start milking only in the evening, so momma didn't get milked in the morning. It was late afternoon when I discovered she had gotten through the fence. When I milked last night, I got about 6 oz. I...
