    Hello everyone. I have 2 small goats. I bought 8 hay bales the other day to sit on for a Thanksgiving parade. After we took them off the float they got rained on. I had a tarp on them it it blew off. I ran out and covered them back up and they have been outside in dry conditions for about...

    Goat Scours

    It is very possible that he was over-fed. The other goat is fine and the one that is sick has a reputation for being a little piglet.

    Goat Scours

    I am not sure about his age. He was a rescue goat. I think at least a year or two. I have not taken a temperature. Assuming I need a special rectal thermometer for that? Is regular Walgreens rectal okay?

    Goat Scours

    Hi everyone, I just got back from a 4 day trip to Florida and immediately realized that one of my goats has diarrhea. I haven't actually seen him go, but the evidence was on his tail and legs. My friend that was feeding him said she hadn't noticed it, so I am not sure how long he has had it...

    Stanky stank

    So, I have only my had my goats about 3 weeks and they smell soooo bad. I have two small males. One is about 2 yrs old, the other about 9 months. They have both been banded (not long before I got them). They are in a 60' x 30' pen that is filled with dense mugwort (the reason I got them)...

    Mugwort

    Hi, I recently got two small goats because I wanted to see if they could effectively control an invasive patch of mugwort that has taken over my garden spot. Their pen (appx. 60' x 30') is filled with dense mugwort and not much else. Since they lack the ability to browse, I am also feeding...
