    This is what vet gave me.. what now?

    The reason I went with Draxxin over others is that it is 1 dose per WEEK and with an impossible to catch goat w/ pneumonia it was my only option.

    My TR finally had her kids!

    I have a goat w/ a similar teat issue. You'll want to make sure the pressure hasn't built up so much in the teats that they can't suck off of it. I had to milk that side out for a week or two to relieve the pressure and then the baby took over. It was a combination of milk supply correcting...

    Will giving her Lut effect what you are currently doing? I assume you are bottle feeding everybody so you don't even have to worry about milk contamination from any of the drugs right? If the Lut would boost but not harm your current efforts and she's not making marked improvements, dose her...

    Desperate plea for a buck in WV

    Well he wasn't papered or Nubian but he was a HUGE and beautiful Lamancha so I'll have backyard milker or freezer babies. Honestly my main concern was to get her bred and get her milk cycle going normally. I already have a buyer lined up for ANY does I decide not to keep unpapered at...

    Desperate plea for a buck in WV

    I'm in the eastern panhandle of WV. My idiot doe with the fertility issues has gone into absolute flaming heat again today. Is there anybody around me that might have a buck I can use? She's clean health wise because thankfully stupidity is not technically contagious. Looking for any large...

    Who are the one acre homesteaders?

    I have to admit we really lucked out with this house. The house divides easily into 2 sections that we share with a couple and their child. It has several rather small bedrooms with large common areas. All our dogs get along (they had 2 and we have 2). We have a 2 car garage that once I...

    Transporting long distance?

    Thankfully the furthest I've had to go is 4.5 hours each way. But my search radius is a bit further. I just tarp the back of my minivan and use 2 baby gates strapped to the back of the front seats to keep from having assistance while driving.

    Who are the one acre homesteaders?

    Yeah our little 1/2 acre holds a lot. The good thing is that it is ALL usable. It's on a very gentle slope with a couple of good flat spots. The goats are on 1/10 of an acre approx and the chickens have an old shed converted into an aviary and will soon have a 15 x something scratch yard off...

    Who are the one acre homesteaders?

    We have 1/2 an acre total for 4 adults, 1 child, 4 dogs, 2 cats, an orchard, a garden, a greenhouse, 3 goats and 14 chickens. Amazingly it all fits.

    Newest Emergency!!!

    If she was given a 20cc syringe of banamine, I'm thinking it's the horse paste not an injectable. I really wouldn't advocate injecting the gel/paste stuff.
