We brought my sweet little Cypress home about a month and a half ago. He seemed to be one of the healthiest in my herd until about a week ago. I was struggling with worms and coccidia in my two little doelings, but Cypress seemed fit as a fiddle. I had the vet come out and he gave me some corid...

I just brought home a 3 month old buckling this weekend. He was doing great when I left doe work this morning, but when I got back this afternoon he was limping around, strongly favoring his left rear leg. I don't feel any lumps or hot spots, and there is no obvious problem with his hoof. I...

Does anyone have a good natural fix for fleas on young goats? Maggie and June are about three months old now and covered with fleas. I have a can of Y•Tex Python Dust, but after reading the back I grew a little concerned about dusting actual poison all over my babies! They are pretty miserable...

We have a rabbit who is about 8-10 months old. Ever since he reached maturity, he has had an incredibly aggressive case of ear mites! We have consistently used an oil-based medicated ointment called VetRX. The mites retreat for a few days, to a few weeks, and then they are back with a vengeance...

The only thing I asked for this Christmas was a goat. I already had two Alpines does that I loved, but I've always been fond of those big floppy ears on a Nubian. After months of researching, I finally found what seemed like the perfect girl. She was gorgeous, the right price, registered, and...
