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...
My husband and I are talking about actually developing something like this.
The pig we butchered on Saturday was low, long and lean. I've already got an email out the the guy that raises them. It also had a fantastic hide with thick long hair and had crazy spots. (it's flensed and in the...
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?

All our dogs get along (they had 2 and we have 2). We have a 2 car garage that once I...
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.
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...
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.
