@B&B Happy goats , It is not my kid but I am trying to help someone else find answers. She said she tried plain water.

Hi everyone, could you please read this and let ,e know what you think? Thank you. "Ok. I have had a fecal sent to MSU by the vet. But my girl is 8.5 weeks old. A week ago today she almost died. Diagnosed with polio and GI ulcers. We are still working through it. (She had just finished...

I am late here but Congratulations on your new Goats and kid. I am currently waiting on a birth myself and two more mamas in April. The one I am waiting on now usually doesn't give many signs but I am monitoring a growing udder and ligaments. She doesn't get very big but had twins last time. My...

@Sweet horizon Nigerians any new additions yet? Can't wait to see! I have 3 expectant does, starting with Annabelle who is due anytime I believe. She wasn't planned so it was a surprise when she started an udder a month ago. Jack was a bad boy and got loose but I did not see any mating. Lol...

The local vet here is all about money. I took a goat fecal sample in and was told to bring the goat in. What?? I have the sample right here just collected. I live 20 minutes from town. Very small town. I have 6 goats. I am not bringing them to town just for a fecal sample. I sent them off to...

She is starting to walk on it slowly.

I think Dixie dislocated her shoulder.

I know nothing about moonspots. Lol. Dixie hurt her leg. I have to wait until the 27 th when the vet gets home. I hope it will be better by then, though. She won't use it but will touch it to the ground when still.

They look great! Mabel or Maybeline?

@Sweet horizon Nigerians Dixie had her baby Thursday. Her only signs were that her ligaments were gone since 4am that morning plus all she wanted to do was climb in my lap which she had not had anything to do with me in 2 months. I heard her holler about 5:10 pm. So I went to her and sat down...

How was it, using the ez milker? Was it fast?

Congratulations on some great looking kids. I can sometimes feel Dixie 's kid pushing against her side when I can catch the little devil. She has always been such a baby now she wants nothing to do with me unless I have food. How pregnancy changes them, wow. Isabel never wanted anything to do...

:caf:pop Do you have any goats with horns? I have been thinking about getting some hanging hay bags but wonder about horns. All of mine have horns, just can't stand the thought of burning their little heads. What kind of hay is that in there? I used to buy Bermuda from my local farm store but it...

These goats have never been dewormed before so they don't have any resistance yet so I want to start with the one that will take care of everything before having to use the "bad boys" dewormer.

I used ivermectin horse paste today. I split a 150 lb dose between Isabelle and Peanut and gave Jack a 150lb dose.
