We have a fainter doe, first freshener, due April 13. I checked her ligs today because I noticed her vulva was huge, very puffy and pink, and kinda looking loose. I couldn't find her ligs!! I had to dig really deep and low to find ANYTHING feeling like ligaments, and her tail is all wonky. No...

I have a FF Nigerian dwarf, this is her first preg. Yesterday she had a glob of white on her vulva, then today more white with a tinge of yellow around the edges, kinda crusty, but fresh for sure today. She is isolating herself a bit, still eating hay, being vocal more than usual, biting at her...

The MRI yesterday showed 2 masses on our 15 month old sons brain. One deep in the middle, and one on the spinal cord where it connects to the brain.We are in shock and have no idea whats next. Trying to stay off the internet... nothing but info on there about how babies just don't survive this...

I recently bought a herd of 7 Nigerian dwarf does, and came across a new term I wasn't aware of in the breed- Double dwarf gene. One of them is really small for her age. This doe is almost 1 year old, but is easily the size of a 6 month old doeling. The previous owner said she just never grew...

I bought a new doe around Nov 20th. Nigerin Dwarf. When we got her, her fur was just horrible- thin, brittle, dry, and sparse. She had kidded about 4 months prior, is about 5 years old. She came from a large herd that included some really nice stock that was used for showing. She was pretty...

Ive found a new product I'm considering getting into.... based on the following claims, would you consider buying it? This product has over 30 million dollars in studies behind it. It is in use at the Cincinnati children's burn unit for children. It is effective at repairing the damage caused...

I have a Nigerian dwarf doe who freshened for her 4th time in march of this year. She weaned them herself around July, and I sent her to be bred this past August. I don't think it took (no signs of breeding under tail, seemed to be in heat a week after hr return. We did get a buck November 17...

So, here is a link to our new website! Its nothing professional, something I threw together in my very limited spare time. Please take a minute to check it out- feel free to critique, let me know what you like, what you think may be missing, etc... please be gentle :) (oh, and let me me know...

I have a small herd of NDs, 5 does, 1 buckling. They are all old enough to breed (hence the new buckling), and most have been bred by him about a month ago. My oldest doe, Betty, is seriously fat. *I think* Im pretty sure she isnt preg from her exposure to a buck back in july since she has NO...

I have a doe with a snotty nose that I am getting worried enough about it, that I think it may need a dose or two of antibiotics. She weighs about 45 pounds (nigerian dwarf), I think she is about a month bred, and has had thick green mucus coming from her nose for about a week now. Its not...

I bought a ND doe recently who had been running with a buck for maybe a month, maybe up to3 months (I didnt think to ask just how long, my mistake for sure), but the previous owner told me she was bred. Dont think they saw the actual breeding though. I brought her home August 20th 2012, along...

We currently have 6 goats, they are Nigerian Dwarfs. 1 is 6 years old and pregnant (not sure on due date), 1 is 3 years old and recently bred, not sure if preg. 4 of them are 5 month old doelings. They have access to pasture, but WONT use it!!! I hear that can be a nigerian dwarf thing...

These videos are riffs on some popular songs, done by a group of brothers as an english assignment and one by their little brother. These are just great and SO funny! My daughter showed them to me and they had me laughing and saying Awwwww... the whole time! Enjoy...

Just brought my doe home from a month away with a buck. The keepers said they saw him chasing her, blubbering at her, and acting like she was in heat. She was not in heat when I brought her there. Buck is proven and this would be a 4th freshening for my doe. They noticed her having a 'wet'...

Born March 29th, 2012. The tri-color doeling is polled and was dam raised, but has had alot of attention from all of us, so she is a real sweetie! She looks just black and white, but has tan on her legs and her backside, kinda where her udder will be when its full of milk. The darker brown...

Ok, so I know that might sound bad, but.... I am always looking for free or super cheap ways to feed my animals, while still maintaining a healthy diet for them. Now I am wondering if itis ok to feed human baby formula? I would mix it according to manufaturer specifications. Since I read...

We are getting our first pig soon, an 6 week old American guinea hog. I enjoy gardening and I would like to use the garden this fall/winter to grow supplemental feed for our pig. being we are new to this, and I hate wasted garden space- Does anyone know what veggies are healthiest and well...

Im trying to look up the lineage of the buck that sired my doe's quads, but I dont know how. The buck is registered with NDGA (nigerian dwarf goat assoc.), but I cant figure out how to look for him to find his lineage. Their database does not seem to be current, or else I just cant figure out...

I have a 5 month old Nigerian Dwarf doeling who is constantly bloated. No matter what I feed her (which is the same kind and amount of feed I give my other doelings), she is hugely bloated almost every other day. I have to give her baking soda every night to get her belly down. But it still...

We are considering getting an livestock guardian for our goats and poultry. We have 3 other small family dogs, 6 human children, 2 cats, chickens, 1 duck, and a small herd of small goats. We have decent fencing, but not something that would keep a determined, big animal from breaking in or...
