FYI...goats aren't cheap to raise! There is medication, hay, grain, minerals, straw for bedding, shelter, fencing, there is vet visits! TIME & MOST IMPORTANT LOVE & PATIENCE! I have Nigerian dwarfs/Pigmys & love my 6 goats (babies) with all my heart! Seems like there's ALWAYS something going on...

I shampoo my goats with coconut shampoo for goats & it is amazing! It is specially formulated with coconut oil to clean & condition the skin and hair on goats!

So I have a question, which do you recommend for a cough? My Nigerian has had a cough for about 2 weeks & I've noticed once in awhile his nose dips...now it's getting cold out I need to nip this in the butt, would appreciate any help. He eats, drinks, plays normal, no signs of any illness...❤️

No I haven't checked her for worms. I've gotta check all of them for worms & they need all their shots since I don't know what the previous owners did. Since I don't know what was done could you please tell me what shots are needed? I have a bottle of Clostridium Perfringens Types C & D Tentanus...

I have another question please...my male Nigerian has a runny nose, nothing else wrong that I can see. But I can tell in his eyes he's not feeling good...his snot is like a clear whitish color if that makes sense, he's pure black so that color makes sense to me...he has his appetite, everything...

Oh my...I bought a 4 month old Nigerian female & she's got a cough, all the goats that this lady bought from another lady (like 4-5 goats) all had coughs, she mentioned to the lady too & she told her that she didn't know why her goats coughed???? Now me reading this...makes me scared about...

I meant casterated/cut off! The vet does it that way, they put them to sleep? Stitches? How does this work? I have him & his brother separated from my 4 month old females right now & geez you might know the girls gotta strut & back up right by their noses! Nasty lil girls!

Thank you so much for sharing, I will be having my Bully banded, I have a question for you? My Bully is 1 yr old, the previous owners never did anything with these 2 goats I got from them for free, my question is....he's not to old to be banded is he? Cuz I don't want it done the other way I've...

My babies love animal crackers, (they only get 2 each) black oil sunflower seeds, apple pellet treats for goats, little bit of corn husk when we have corn on the cob, little round salted crackers that's come in a plastic container at the $ store (a couple each) I have a variety of different...

I certainly can't give any kind of criticism for that, WOW! That's amazing...I would also love to have this but my goats would be jumping all over it!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! :thumbsup

I just can't believe there's worse hooves...I'm so new at this I really wish I knew exactly what I was doing, I just know not to go short! And I been reading & watching videos on trimming hooves, I'm just happy I can love them up enough & kiss them up to calm them so they let me trim..I sure...

How do I only get alerts on here & NO emails on every alert?

I got 2 goats off Facebook from a lady for free (to a good home) she had these goats for 1 year, she told me she bought them at a rodeo & was told they were fainting goats which she said they never did faint. When I picked them up these poor babies were in a 5' x 7'' space in a barn, pail of...

Thank you for the welcome & my goats are Pygmy/Fainting-Pygmy/Nigerian Dwarf These are not only pets/they are my fur babies! No milk making nor meat! #1 is "Bits" he's 5 months old (his brother is the white one that died in my aviator pix) #2 "Bully" #3 "Bing-a-ling" 1 yr old/both males (lady...
