I think we have settled on Zeus for Spot and Ares for Tiggs. And yes, there has been a lot of carrying around Zeus! I love our tile floors though, they are fantastic for the sandy soil we have so that the particles don't get into things. And, of course, for accidents. With 5 cats and now 5...

These two are settling in well after a long drive yesterday/early this morning. :) They say that Florida is much hotter than North Carolina! And that the goats are strange for being scared of them. ;)

What, no rumor that there may be another member getting a pup? ;)

I found this on Facebook tonight, and I thought many of you would appreciate the sentiment...

Idk! Poor babies. They are no worse for the wear this morning. Much less "full" looking, but we held back their grain last night too so that may be contributing to that. I'm just glad they didn't ever show any symptoms other than the loose poops. No lethargy and their famacha scores are all...

We just dosed them according to that thread about an hour ago! I figured since that agreed with what Pearce said (when calculated appropriately) that it would be fine for them. Getting 25mls in Ruby was no easy task! The others weren't any easier than her but the had less. That stuff must taste...

It's liquid 12.5%, like the one Fiasco Farms listed.

Thank you for that info! @ Pearce Pastures: Does that dosing sound right? Also, is it better to under or overdose? Last time we weighed them (about 5 weeks ago), they were 30, 27, 26, 19, and 12.5lbs. I know that they have all gained weight, but I am really unsure how much. Ruby may be up to...

@Goat Whisperer: Thank you for that link, the close feed store has DiMethox! I always forget that Archer has a feed store, we use the one in Gainesville because it's much larger and carries the food we wanted to use. What they have is a gallon container of it, according to the lady on the phone...

Well I checked out our TSC and feed store, neither had DiMethox or Albon, only Corid. I bought Corrid just in case. I called our vet but I know his wife recently had a baby, about a month ago, so I'm not sure he will respond today or even tomorrow, he hasn't been working much. There aren't any...

So, we just got the girls weaned about a week ago when they turned three months old. Today I noticed they are getting loose poops, and I'm not sure what to do about it. The poops are dark and runny, but not completely liquid. They are not smelly, either. They are eating a small amount of grain...

I don't know... It's one thing to pay the vet bill, it was only $250. We paid $450 for him and $200 to have his body hauled away today... I don't think our neighbors have another $650 just laying around... Not that it would do much good, LGDs are around $800 here... :( not something I should be...

Yea.. He was doing fine at noon and was dead at 3:30 when I went outside to bottle feed the goats... The emergency vet we called on Sunday thinks his tetanus vaccines weren't effective enough or he didn't receive the right booster series when he was young... Poor Cloud... I don't know what we...

Really sad news for you guys... Cloud unexpectedly passed away this afternoon...

Thank you @Hens and Roos. It's been a rough day. He was perky enough to fight us for his second penicillin injection this afternoon, and he seems to be bearing weight normally now on his leg. Off and on all day we've stumbled outside to check on him only to hear the neighbors (their house is...

It's been a bit slow going lately, but today we had a bit of a disaster. Two neighboring dogs got into the pasture and had a tussle with Cloud. His face and chin is pretty torn up, and he's slightly lame but still weightbearing on one leg, and is going to need several days of antibiotics and...

The babies are doing fantastic with Cloud! They have been outside most of the daytime for the past 3 days and are great with him. Cloud scared off the neighbors dog, which meant no harm as she hangs out with the neighbors goat all the time, but we were still proud of him for chasing her off...

I have such a hard time keeping up with threads on my phone, but I LOVE the puppy pictures! So cute and fluffy! Makes me wish we could have one. :)

Well, we have made a bit of progress in the garden. Two days ago we managed to get three large trees pulled out of the ground. Nothing like tree removal without a chainsaw that works! These are the trees we have left. 7 in the garden area, 4 outside of the boundaries that just need to be...

@Chivoville: We are definitely very busy. Just feeding, cleaning, and daily animal stuff takes a minimum of 30 minutes in the morning and 1 hour in the evening. Our goats have a temporary pen in our garage until they are large enough to be outside full time. Later this week we will be clearing...
