I got her in to our dog's vet. That was interesting! lol. They weighed her and she is 175 pounds! I did not think she would weigh that much! The vet assistant had me take her outside to the grass to wait for the vet. He came out and was shocked... said he thought I was bringing in a mini goat...

I found this one on line. It looks pretty close to mine. Just in case you wanted something sooner. I am not off work for at least two more hours
My Equine vet can't come out, he is on his way out of town. My friend recommended another large animal vet so I left him a message. Hopefully I can get him out tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for all your help and support! I feel so bad for her. I am getting more and more clumps out of her when I...
Ugh. The vet I use is closed until May 22. I called the dogs vet to see if they take goats and they can see her on Saturday. But they asked me if my dairy goat was spayed. Not sure that is a good sign. I am going to call my horse vet on my lunch and see if he can come out. Sure frustrated that...
Goats are herd animals so a friend would be a great idea! Otherwise you will need to spend a lot of time out with him, and become part of his herd. I have one goat that is a loner but is unhappy when actually alone. She doesn't socialize with the other goats in her pen, much, but if she is in a...
I took her temperature last night and it was 105.3. I am calling the vet out. My husband is irritated that I am spending so much on the goats, but I cannot risk her health. I hope whatever the vet gives her doesn't dry up her milk, as that is how I make money off the goats, making my husband...
I don't know if she was tested for CAE... I will have to ask. I bought her from a friend of mine, who got her from the pound, of all places.
When I milked her, last night, I massaged the knots while I milked her and got soooo many chunks out... a couple of them were bloody and she was so not...
thank you. They are a different breed so they have smaller teats. I have different inflations for them.
I will check that link out. Thank you. She is my sweetest goat and of course gives the most milk so it just had to be her that has a problem. She gives me sometimes more than 2 gallons a day...
I did the CMT and it came up as weak mastitis. So I am trying to get ahead of it. I am in California and cannot purchase any antibiotics over the counter so she is going to have to go to the vet if I can't figure this out soon. Some pretty large chunks came out, last night, so I am hoping we are...
My Alpine kidded two weeks ago and even before she kidded, one of her udders was larger than the other one. Now it has knots in it and the milk is very chunky. I have been milking that side every evening (the kids have been drinking off of that side during the day) as well as doing a warm...
