It has been going on for a few days now, she has been eating more hay now that the grass has died off from the recent frost. She has already been dewormed, I will check the name of it to see if it should have worked for tapeworms, too.

Thanks, I will try that. Any idea if the loose stools would be related?

Update: So I treated all three of them with the perm 10% about two weeks ago but it still looks the same on the top of Lucy's head, so I will be trying a second treatment. The first time I sprayed it directly on, but this time I think I will mix it with shampoo and give them an entire bath...

Definitely sounds like mites/mange from all that info, thanks. I think I will try the permethrins first, and the sulfer-lime dip will be the back up plan. They do have a mineral block containing copper and selenium (they have almost eaten the whole thing by now, so I really think they needed...

Here a a couple pictures, not the best but they move a lot! I will work on better ones.

In a previous thread, I mentioned the momma goat, Lucy, has a spot on the top of her head that has this white flaky stuff on it. I can't tell from comparing pictures online if these are eggs or dry skin or what...I have not seen a single bug on her, though and not a bug or these flakes/eggs on...

Look at those paws, he is going to be a big boy!

The one on the top has such pretty eyes and they both look so fluffy!

I'm in Florida, but a friend of mine that has goats and lives in the country, all she has is lights out and has no problem with predators. I'm doing the same.

Thanks, I will try to upload some asap.

Oh, and they ate about 1/3 of the mineral block in a matter of days, so I think they did really need that. I am concerned about her hooves because they were grown to the point of being bent sideways, but I have been trimming them and they are getting much better. Thanks for your advice!

I don't see any bugs, she just has this spot on the top of her head with small, round, white things attached to the hair (eggs?) Then under that, at the skin, there is this thick, crusty, whitish looking area that is cracked (can't tell if it is junk caked on or if it is her skin). It kind of...

The thread in this same section titled "Goat Hoof Trimming" has the video from youtube that I found most helpful. Between the couple of videos on youtube and my experience with trimming dog's nails, I was able to do it easily. Their hooves are not as hard as I expected. I got a pair of trimmers...

Hello, my husband got three goats from someone off craigslist. (I know, not always the best idea, but we liked their personalities and wanted to help them out) Now that we have them, we are finding things that were not taken care of (The mom has a skin condition/lice/something else going on, two...

Instead of "How are you doing?" any time you see friends/family/coworkers, the question is "How are the animals?"

Hi, I am a new goat mom to three nubian goats: Lucy (Momma) and her two babies, Agnes and Ivy. My husband got them recently to help maintain the grass around the pond on our new property, so I have been browsing this site for a couple weeks to learn as much as possible about them-and have...
