FYI...goats aren't cheap to raise! There is medication, hay, grain, minerals, straw for bedding, shelter, fencing, there is vet visits! TIME & MOST IMPORTANT LOVE & PATIENCE!
I have Nigerian dwarfs/Pigmys & love my 6 goats (babies) with all my heart! Seems like there's ALWAYS something going on...
I shampoo my goats with coconut shampoo for goats & it is amazing! It is specially formulated with coconut oil to clean & condition the skin and hair on goats!
So I have a question, which do you recommend for a cough? My Nigerian has had a cough for about 2 weeks & I've noticed once in awhile his nose dips...now it's getting cold out I need to nip this in the butt, would appreciate any help. He eats, drinks, plays normal, no signs of any illness...❤️
No I haven't checked her for worms. I've gotta check all of them for worms & they need all their shots since I don't know what the previous owners did. Since I don't know what was done could you please tell me what shots are needed? I have a bottle of Clostridium Perfringens Types C & D Tentanus...
I have another question please...my male Nigerian has a runny nose, nothing else wrong that I can see. But I can tell in his eyes he's not feeling good...his snot is like a clear whitish color if that makes sense, he's pure black so that color makes sense to me...he has his appetite, everything...

I meant casterated/cut off! The vet does it that way, they put them to sleep? Stitches? How does this work? I have him & his brother separated from my 4 month old females right now & geez you might know the girls gotta strut & back up right by their noses! Nasty lil girls!

I just can't believe there's worse hooves...I'm so new at this I really wish I knew exactly what I was doing, I just know not to go short! And I been reading & watching videos on trimming hooves, I'm just happy I can love them up enough & kiss them up to calm them so they let me trim..I sure...
I got 2 goats off Facebook from a lady for free (to a good home) she had these goats for 1 year, she told me she bought them at a rodeo & was told they were fainting goats which she said they never did faint. When I picked them up these poor babies were in a 5' x 7'' space in a barn, pail of...
