@Southern by choice I'm new at this ... I saw you said some of your here were tested 4x for CAE? Is once not enough? My guy was only tested once. He has really bad arthritis. Should he be tested more than once? I draw blood on people no problem, got the vet to do his and It was over $100 for...

@misfitmorgan Is it possible you could isolate them just for a little bit and get a zip lock bag of each one's droppings. My vet will test that way for about $16.00 Just run it up there and drop it off, no doctor visit fees. Maybe if you call around there may be some vet that can do it for you...

She's absolutely gorgeous!! Love her colors:love I agree with the dehorning. As big as she will be I couldn't imagine getting hit. Even in play, my guy can sure pack a punch. He's a goat though. We use boxing gloves. It's fun for all and no one gets bruises :p My goat weighs 90 lbs and is the...

I agree!! Everyone has been so incredibly helpful and the amount of info and knowledge available is immeasurable. So happy I found BAck Yard Herds :love :thumbsup :love

I was thinking maybe a pebble or something in the hoof also. Or got up wrong with the baby weight. There's so many little ways they can get hurt. As much as we try to protect them My boy hurt his knee last year and I'm not 100% sure how he did it. I had just moved into my new place and they...

Absolutely adorable!! Congratulations on your new additions!! They are amazing, I love the black and white :love They're all precious but the one that looked like a cow was Oh sooo cute:love

Absolutely!! Have a great night and I'll keep you posted - trying the DMSO tonight when I get home. I will be able to make sure he doesn't have any freaky reactions to it... Such a helicopter mom.. Good thing I don't have a herd yet , they would all be in the house every time it sprinkled, lol

Thanks Norseofcourse!! I am going to definitely add this to the stack of stuff I have found on DMSO. I really appreciate the link. I feel a lot better when I know more about what I'm using. Found out my neighbor has been using it all over for all kinds of things for yrs. (bee stings, sprains...

Thank you both so much!! :thumbsup I'm at work now. His appetite has improved (yay) and he's drinking again.. Not as much as I would like but it seems that's his thing lately.. The limp is sooo bad when he's been down for a bit. And after he's up its not much better. I assume it will take a few...

Got the DMSO yesterday, what is the best way to apply it, do you dilute and how much do you put on your does knee???? So many questions, so thankful for you guys!!

That's great!! So happy to hear that they figured it out!! :weee:thumbsup

Thanks, he has my heart :love

No, the limp started last year and I took him straight to the vet. After 3 visits it was determined that it was a sprain and would resolve with some help from anti inflammatory meds. It didn't get better. It was about the same until about 4 months ago it really began to bother him. Many more...

He turned 4 on February 02 I got him at 4 days old

Nice to meet ya Northeast Texas!! Thanks :love

He will beat you to death to get in his crate if it storms or someone turns on the vacuum, lol It's big enough for him and I both, he can turn around and stand upright completely. When he was a baby I would put him in the little crate at night after his bottle and the crate just got bigger as...

Yes the avatar, that's my Vinny. He's a spoiled brat. Since he's our only goat he hangs in the house with the dogs. He's been with the dogs outside during the day / inside at night since he was little. We got him at 4 days old. Our companion goat didn't work out. I am planning to try again but...

Thanks TAH, I'll get that started tonight. Fingers crossed that he will continue to improve on his own. He's never refused food, treats everything before so i was really scared but he's peeing more tonight and it's not so dark (concentrated, ugh) I massaged his leg and sides all thru the night...

3 kids, 2 dogs and 1 very spoiled Nigerian Dwarf that boxes like Rocky and thinks he's a king :)

They are absolutely adorable!! Love the colors :love Congratulations :thumbsup
