So if you breed a Nigerian Doe with a teat spur is it a guarantee all of her babies will have also have it? Her Dam has two perfect teats. She has what I am thinking is a teat spur. Its not a full second teat, just a very small opening on one side of the normal orifice. Is she more likely to...

So we took one of our does to be bred today. Things went south quickly. First of all, she was so stressed from the transport that she was actually panting. I've never seen a goat pant before. The buck was interested, played nice, whispered in her ear, peed all over his face..... :sick She was...

Since this is the predator/pest area I thought I'd post this here. Last week my Hubby caught a neighbor feeding our chickens cracked corn. Let me add to this that she used to feed the wild deer-illegally-and we turned her in to the police. They told her to stop feeding them. She doesn't know we...

One of our Does has been diagnosed with a fungal infection at the base of her tail. The Vet said to use anti-fungal shampoo and a toothbrush to clean it up. One week later and no results. I've read about betadine solution and then an anti fungal cream. Does anyone know how much to dilute the...

I posted on BYC, but I always get better advice here. :D We noticed our 1 year old Buckeye hen had bumblefoot about 7 days ago. The black plug was not that large, but her foot was very swollen and hard. We surgically removed the plug, and she has had 3 doses of penicillin (.25 cc each). She is...

I posted on BYC - no one is answering. I have a chick that is 24 hours old. she hatched with some of the yolk still attached, unabsorbed. She's standing and peeping, so I don't want to give up on her. She is weaker than the others, and now after 24 hours the yolk sack has dried to a glob on her...

My Buckeye Rooster is not quite 1 year old. He developed a respiratory problem a few days ago and no local vet will see him. No nasal discharge, just sneezing and open mouth/beak breathing. I gave him one dose/injection of Tylan 50 and treated with Vet RX two days ago - small improvement. I...

Little Ellie is almost 8 weeks old. She is currently taking 6 oz of cows milk 4 times a day. She is also eating grain and hay. I have NO idea how or when to wean her from the bottle. Her last weight was 8 pounds. Do I slowly reduce the amount in her bottles or reduce the feedings to 3 times...

OK, my 4 week old Nigerian doeling still has scours. For almost two weeks now. Vet tested for Coccidia - one egg - one - she dosed with Albon anyway and told me to put her back on 100% fresh goat milk. Still poopy I ran out of goat milk, can't find any anywhere. Bought canned evaporated...

My two week old bottle baby is rapidly depleting the store of goat's milk available. Can I mix the goat's milk and cow's milk to a 50/50 blend to stretch the goat's milk? Or should I just transition her to cow's milk?

I just inherited a bottle baby. Mom had triplets, this one couldn't win. She's finally hold her own temp - she's at 103 Just tubed her to get some colostrum in her 1.5 ounces. I gave her a tiny amount of b12 gel. Breeder gave her a shot of BoSe on Wednesday. I have her laying on a heating...

My Nigerian dwarf doe has VERY dry itchy skin around the edges her tail where the hair meets the bare skin on the underside. She chews on it a lot. She had this condition earlier this year but it seems to have gotten much worse since she kidded in October. She has free choice loose Manna Pro...

My first freshener Nigerian Dwarf doe and I are struggling with milking. She fights me a little on the stand, but I started hobbling her and she's getting better. Please keep in mind, the baby is 6 weeks old, and she is still nursing. I'm not getting much milk from her - even first thing in the...

My Nigerian Dwarf is a first freshener. She had just one kid three weeks ago. I am trying to milk twice a day and I'm getting about 2 teaspoons of milk each time - no kidding. I'm assuming that because she only had one baby, she is not producing alot of extra milk. I also have not seperated them...

We have two Nigerian Dwarf goats - sisters. They are 19 months old. Lucy just had a single doeling on Friday Night. Lily is pregnant and due in December. Problem - Lily is being very mean to the baby. She is not very happy about being seperated from her sister - Lucy and the baby are in the...

This is my Lucy. She is 19 months old and a first freshener. I am a very nervous goat mommy. She is bred to another Nigerian Dwarf Buck. I am hoping she only has twins since it's her first time. I will get new pictures of her growing belly and udder tomorrow. The other concern is how she's...

We brought a buck in May 30th to breed our two Nigerian Does. One was in heat when he arrived, but we must have missed her standing time. The other doe came into heat a week later DH witnessed the act, no heat cycles since. Doe number one comes into heat two weeks later, we witness the mount...
