    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    ok...I've quizzed the kids about where they were cutting brush from. Yes, they had been getting it from our neighbors bare land. And, it probably had baby snails on some of it. It's the monsoon season here at the moment. Snails...could that be it? Her death is haunting me and I can't rest...

    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    I feel sick to my stomach thinking she was probably poisoned!! 😭 😭 😭 😭 It was a horrible tortuous death. She couldn't have gotten into any rat poison, not on our property. She was penned , always. We would cut scrub for her, both from our property and also from a neighbors property next...

    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    I've been trying to find something..but so far nothing. Could it have been worms? I did read on one thread here that the shape of goat poops can change to something like in the photo above with a worm overload?? This afternoon I removed all goats from their house and bleached everywhere with...

    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    Thank you. In hindsight....about a week ago I had noticed her poops were no longer round berries but instead were skinny pointed things. At the time, because I'd seen a rat in the hay that backs onto her pen wall, I'd assumed it was rat poop. Maybe it wasn't? Maybe it was her poop? What...

    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    Thank you so much for your replies. I truly appreciate your kindness and support. Unfortunately we woke up this morning to the most horrendous sounds coming from the goat house. I sat with her while she bled out from both ends, convulsing all the way to the very end. At one point she managed...

    URGENT PLEASE: Nose Bleeding With Some Mucus/Pus, Lethargic & Fits - HELP PLEASE 🙏

    Edited to say: After I took her temperature she is now bleeding from her anus. I've managed to get her to stand for a while. Later on in the day she stood up by herself. I've also now given her 5ccs of Vitamin B Complex SQ, and one human iron tablet down her throat (photo attached of the...

    Urgent Please - 3 day old kids with red mites

    Here's some photos....they do seem perfectly healthy to look at... We sprayed some mite spray all throughout their pen a couple of days ago, then put down new bedding. Checking them today, we couldn't find any sign of mites. Hopefully this has worked. We'll respray in 10 days time.

    Urgent Please - 3 day old kids with red mites

    Hi everyone, I've not had this problem before so not sure the best course of action. Please help!! The kids are 3 days old and today we noticed red mites on them. I'm in Thailand so not sure what might be available to me here compared to what's available in US. So far, no obvious health...

    Need Some Help Please....Is This Safe?

    So far my research is telling me the pods are great, but the leaves have high tannin levels. So, I can't feed them the leaves right?

    Hi all, Just recently discovered we have a number of these huge trees on our property. The goats clearly love the seed pods, but I'm trying to determine if I can feed the leaves to them? All help appreciated, thanks :) The trees in question: Samanea Saman (raintree)...

    Does With Kids

    Thanks.....I don't think it's really serious (just seems that way to me I guess). Good idea about setting up a separate area where kids can escape. I'll see what I can rig up today :)

    Does With Kids

    Thanks. I'm hoping to get this sorted quickly. Hopefully they will oblige me. Being goats maybe not. I'm going away on holiday back to New Zealand in two weeks time. I need to make things ready for the kids to look after the goats while I'm away. At the moment we are all taking turns to...
