I have a Boer buck who will be 2 in May. This morning a lump was found by where his beard is. It is free moving and I did see some hair loss in the area. It is firm but not hard. It does not seem to be attached to a bone. He does not seem to mind when you touch it. I wormed him today with...

Not sure. The vet is coming out monday

She has severe pink eye. I want to start treatment asap but am not sure what to use with her being so young. I am now putting two and two together and think I may have a chlaymidia thing going on. Had a doe abort about 3 weeks ago and now a newborn with pink eye. What should I treat the mom...

I have a registered Boer buck. He was my herd sire this year and the kids are hitting the ground now. My does are not registered. Can the kids be registered? If so ...how do I do it?

I have a 3 year old Nubian doe. She had as beautiful doeling last July and never really bounced back. She had dry curly hair now. Fecals done and has been wormed. She eats and drinks. No temp. I am very concerned about her. Sometimes when I feed her grain she will choke on it which I am not...

The vet had really not said a whole lot. he was more concerned about the temp and possible infection. i witnessed the attack and she was ok after that. standing on her own but i penned her up just to seperate her to avoid any more conflict. that was friday she aborted late saturday night/sunday...

I thought about the meningeal worm as well but wouldnt it have killed her by now? she was not showing any signs before hand but since it was mentioned i started treatment yesterday. before the abortion she was fine. a little on the thin side but she is one of my more docile goats. she was not...

I have an dairy mix who is a big girl ( about 200 lbs) She is an apline / togg mix of sorts. Sunday she aborted triplets after getting beat up at the feeder by another goat. They were about 6 weeks early I think. ( I have pics if any one would like to see). I did not find all of the...

Here are the pics of Kreature. This was day 2 of Treatment - When she started to atleast try to hold herself up. This was day 5 of treatment - When she shock us by opening up her pen and walking out to enjoy the sunshine. As you can see she did not ever lose weight or show any real signs...

So sorry to hear that you are going to have to put her down. And to answer the question about Kreature - She never had a temp. She just got done with another 5 day dosage of the Safeguard and the vet suggested it be repeated monthly for 4 months. I will start another post so I do not...

This is my Mengineal worm story - Sorry about the copy from another post where I posted it... Just a little busy to type it out right now. The difference I can see is with Kreature it was her back legs ( which I have heard is how it starts) and looking a Kreature the day before you never...

Here comes my back leg dragging story... If it helps any. Kreature if my 3 yaer old boer doe. Sweetheart of a doe. About 2 weeks ago I went into the pasture to hold the gate so Dh could get the tractor through the maze of goats. he pointed out that Kreature looked like she had a hard time...

Elvis my fainter buck was doing that about 2 weeks ago. I caught him and when I did was in for a shock. He was sooo skinny. He has long hair so it was not noticable ( the weight loss). My first thought was he was choking but did not seem to be in distress. We thought maybe he had eaten...

OMg where to start..... Lets start with the cows - 3 new cows have joined the herd. Two baldies and one black angus. The shortly baldy calved about 3 weeks ago and is doing great with her little bull calf. The Black angus calved about a week later - but unfortunately the calf was run over...

Well he has arrived. He spent some time tied up in the field with the goats. Well to the barn actually. His name is Doc. He is now with the herd and no longer tied up and a dream to watch. It is amazing how quickly he bonded with the herd and how he has a routine and it seems he moves...

Not sure how it works in Maine but in Ohio ALL of your work surfaces have to be Stainless Steel. The walls here have to be FRP or stainless or another approved nonpourous surface. You also have to have a seperate septic to catch all of your wash / waste water as well as a contract set up with...

Ok I got a little bit more information this morning and will be going down to talk to the guy during lunch ( he works with DH) He is use to children - but I do not have any regardless. He was in with about 50 fainting goats on 40 acres. My herd is numberd at 26 goats and 20 acres. The...

A friend of our is getting rid of his herd of goats. He has a 3 year old GP male who he is looking to rehome. The GP has been with his goats his whole life. Is there any hope of getting him to accept my herd and being a good LGD for my herd?

She is about 125 lbs and her dosage diluted is 40ml for 5 days. when I head back out to the barn I will get the bottle that has how much corid was mixed with water. I have seen an imrovement in her already. She is still not even close to perfect but has a little spunk back. She no longer...

Now back from the vet and the dx is Coccodia, whipworm and round worm - 5 days of corid and cydectin for one day. Lots of fresh hay and water and a red cell daily..
