    Lumps

    How do you test for this? The bump has not festered yet. Is it safe to stick a needle into and draw out. It doesn’t feel like any thing but gristle to me. Also if I do draw it, where do I send it to?

    Lumps

    I mis-spoke here. The vet didn’t sat CAE he said it was the CL (long word). Sorry I got it mixed up.

    Lumps

    Sorry, I called the vet diagnosis wrong. It is Cl not CAE. I was blown away when he told me and I got confused. Sorry but this CL is not a good thing either.

    Lumps

    I’m always one to prepare for the worst but not necessarily to accept what is told me until I can search it out. I want to think this may be allergy related but when I searched my old notes from 4 years ago, I see she is a triplet from a mom I had to put down because of a lab test with CAE...

    Lumps

    Took to vet, he looked at her and rubbed the bump, push it around i guess to see if it moved , squeezed it to see if hard I guess. Then he said he was 99% sure it was CAE. She also has a heavy worm load from BP worms even though she had just finished her 20 day bout with ivermectin. He told me...

    Anemia

    Te Red Cell is far a head in anemic situations. Iron is good but don’t give too much as it can get dangerous. I’m using red cell as we speak for anemia. Treat with red cell for 6 -7 days then once a week for 3-4 weeks. When color in famacha scale begins to come back, quit giving and just monitor.

    Lumps

    Ok, I have an appointment at the vet Friday eve at 1:45pm. This is as soon as he can work me in. I have to load her up and take her about 18 miles one way. I hate having to haul them because it stresses them out so much. But now it like human doctors, they don’t make house calls. But at least he...

    Goat Extending Lower Jaw Frequently - Also Clumps of Feces

    Good advice. Test first , treat what needed. A sample is not hard to get. Just stand and watch, have sandwich bag in pocket and a tweezer to pick up with. If you can’t carry it then, put in refrigerator (when wife not looking, ha, ha) and carry the next day. Don’t freeze or just let lay out...

    Lumps and eye famacha

    You can’t see the lumps just looking at her. Her hair covers them well. Only by feeling do you know they are there.

    Lumps and eye famacha

    Have a nanny with 3 babies. I found 2 lumps under her throat about 3 inches from one another. They are both about the size and shape of an almond out of the hull. This is not a shot knot (so to speak) both are hard and do not move. She eats well and is now weaning her babies. Also I hope the...
