It has been one thing after the other after buying 5 new goats. I've never had so much trouble. Coccidia, kids treated and improving. Did have some coughing during and after eating (thought was normal because they are gluttons) Well I now have coughing, sneezing, runny nose and eyes...

So after we get the land fixed up a bit we are going to fence it for goats. I currently have a smallish herd of Nigerians. Here's my problem(s): We have a coyote problem and my neighbor has a big nasty dog that they let loose. Also 2 sides of the fence will be along the road. Me and my dad...

My kids were debudded on Wednesday. All looked good until last night at feeding when I got a whiff of something nasty and searched it out. Only her left side is nasty. She is still eating and playing. I have blue kote on hand but what can I clean it with first? Preferences?

So I just found out that feed with decoxx shouldn't be fed to goats intended on producing milk for human consumption. So even if I stop feed now I won't be able to use the milk from these does for cheese or drinking milk in the future correct?

So it has begun. A bit earlier than I was planning, Bucky jumped the gun. I need to count days up but I believe all 3 of my does will be due in late January/Early February. Molly should be due January 20th(day 145) Granger and Fleur should be due January 25th (day 145) I will add pics shortly.

I'm in a fb group for goat sales for my state. I am constantly seeing things in the ad like utd on vaccines, closed herd, tested clean but one thing that has me curious is that some also list goats on coccidia prevention. What is this coccidia prevention? Are there different ones? Where do I get...

I've had a young buck in with my girls since mid April. I've not seen anyone cycle since he arrived or any romantic action. My girls are Nigerian and a pygmy. My young buck is Nigerian. Last month I noticed the bucky odor from him but never before that. Could he have just been too young? I'm...

I have a doe that I bought last year. She had been disbudded as a young kid. She has 2 scurs, the straight one gets really loose and knocks off but the one is growing in bent. That one seems more solid and has never been removed. I am worried it will eventually grow into her head. What can I use...

I got a piglet Saturday at a swap meet. She's a Kunekune juliana cross but not sure on percentages. She will be 3 months old this week. I want to make sure I'm feeding her correctly. I'm feeding her mini pig food currently and shes in my garage due to bad storms. She will be outside if the...

I live in a area that has copper and selenium deficiencies. I ran out of the bag I had been using through the winter (cant remember the name right off). I have been feeding manna pro minerals for about a month but have noticed a doe getting some orange on her legs and another losing tail hair...

Been on a streak of bad luck lately it seems. I have a 1 year old lionhead doe that was covered in foamy diarrhea this afternoon. She was not like this this morning at feeding. Its been raining for weeks but today was pretty warm but not hot. Ideas and treatment?

Hopefully this doesn't end up like all the other journals I've started through the years. :D =D Hi y'all I'm Alley from Ohio! I live on a small farm in Southern Ohio. I currently have 5 Nigerian dwarf (&cross) goats, 2 muscovy ducks, 16 rabbits (10 of those are babies), and let's say 20...

I have a 4 week old lionhead with swollen genitals. She has been peeing all over herself. I gave her a bath today. I believe she may have been stung by a bee or wasp. What can I do?

Looking for the LA200 dosing instructions for goats. Fleurs eyes are cloudy and matted. ml/lb and for however many days needed would be appreciated.

I meant to make one of these sooner. Hopefully I can get caught up.

Just got this little baby on Monday 4/22. Weather has been up and down in temps and lots of rain. Today while feeding I noticed her right eye had green discharge and she had clear snot coming from her nose. She’s not coughing as of right now but I just want to make sure she’s ok. The lady I got...

Ok so last summer I rescued some rabbits. 2 were supposed to be a pair of male Californians. Well they were a pair alright (Bonnie & Clyde). Well they are both very small and lean no matter what food and dewormer I use. Doe was bred when I got her and had a bunch of babies. Fast forward to now...

I’ve put a deposit on a gorgeous blue eyed dehorned buck kid. I’ve found a doe that I like the color of but she is brown eyed and potentially polled. Her mother is polled but father is not. If I were to purchase this doe what is the chance that I will have blue eyed polled kids from the...

I have this NZ doe that I got back in the summer. (She’s huge now but this is the only pic I have of her on my phone) Other than being broken I don’t know the exact color of her. I’m wanting to get a buck but not sure the color to get. I’d really like some tri color babies but I don’t know if...

I have a doe that was due today. (Day 30) she pulled about half her hair out yesterday. She made a nest and keeps grabbing things to add to it today. I was sure she’d have them yesterday but as of tonight nothing. I’ll check once more before bed but I’m concerned about her. No change in...
