Just went out to check on her again. She is leaking white mucous.Weird.My other doe's still have a bloody discharge. Millie's is white. Does this mean infection? She had the hardest time expelling her afterbirth after kidding. The vet said give it 24 hours. She finally expelled the next day...

No I haven't given her any BoSe. Good idea I will do that today though! The babies varied in size. The 3 surviors are smaller. I surprised any of them survived. There were a couple of undeveloped ones that didn't make it. I called my vet and he said he is surprised she didn't get toxiemia since...

My big Nubian doe "Millie" Had 7 kids a few days ago. Only 3 survived and are doing great.We had to pull all of them out. We had Millie on antibiotics because we had to reach in. However Millie looks emaciated!She looks fine from the side, but from the back or top she looks awfull! She was...

How many times a day are you milking? If only once they will slack off on production. To up it, Try milking 3 times a day for a week. And then back it down to just 2. This worked for a friend of mine who's goats were starting to dry up a bit. This got them milking really good again! You can also...

If she tests negative for mastitis I wouldn't worry too much. Is she a heavy milker, does her bag get extreamly tight and full? I have a doe who is such a heavy milker that she almost gets a compacted udder. And sometimes I find small traces of blood in her milk from her capilaries busting from...

My female Pyr did the same thing! Some do it some don't. Just keep scolding her and telling her no when you see her playing with them. My female no longer does this and she is now 2 years old. When the lambs came it actually helped, because the ewe's got pretty agressive towards her trying to...

F1 Mini Nubian buck. His name is Alex, He is 2 years old. Has done his job well for me. Comes from Green Gables lines. Very healthy, very friendly but can be a overly friendly and bratty as most bucks can lol. Has great long ears for a F1 mini. Throws beautiful kids! Loves attention $200. I've...

Thanks for the info! I'm actually heading into my vets tomorrow. So I will take a fecal in for her.

Hi, I checked on my Doe today who is Due in March. Her membranes under her eyes were a bit pale. I've been told by a friend to use SafeGuard horse wormer in a tube to worm her. Is this really safe? And how much should I give her? Not sure of her exact weight, but I know She weighs over 100...

Ok Thanks! Her orfices are actually pretty big. Her teat is swelling as well and feels really weird. I know she is hurting because she makes a noise when I touch it. Someone told me to give her Lasix? Not sure how safe that is. My uncle has some if I need it.

My Nubian "Josie" had her twins yesterday, A buck and a doe. Only problem is she is producing so much milk( close to a gallon!) That her Udder has become congested from filling up so fast. Milk looks great, No clumps,smell,blood or anything. Has anyone ever had this happen? I'm going out to the...

Wow I can't imagine how bit they would be in 3-4 weeks!! LOL. Thank you! So even though the ligaments have really loosened up they still have time left, Is that normal, I read they should kid within 24 hours of the ligaments being gone. I guess every Doe is different though!

Ok my girls are due Feb 22nd. I'm pretty sure Elle will kid before then. She has really dropped and her ligaments are almost gone. Does she look like she will kid soon? I'm a newbie :) This is Elle and I think she will kid before my other doe Josie Elle's back end,Its a bit blurry...

I just received a free bucket of Diamond V yeast from a friend of mine. I know a lot of goat people use it. What are the benefits of it and how should I feed it to my goats? Ive just been top dressing their feed with it, A couple Tbs

Thanks for the reply's! I went out to check on them tonight and ended up putting them in their own stall just in case. My one Doe has some discharge coming out. Its around a half inch long and super thick and whitish. Its so thick it isn't dripping. Is this her mucus plug? And if it is what does...

My Male Pyrenees does the same thing. He is gentle otherwise but when it comes to his food he becomes aggressive. He is just showing who is boss. He also gets agressive when the momma sheep try to protect their babies and My male will run after then when they stomp their feet at him. My female...

I have a 4 year old Male Pyrenees. He has had the same problem since he was 8 weeks old. This is common in large breed dogs. Its called Ectropian. My vet said he may need surgery. But it only bothers him once in awhile. It comes and goes. Here is some info on it that may help you: is when...

Great, Thanks! So swelling this early is normal I'm guessing?

My Nubian's Doe's are Due February 22nd. They are coming on 1 year old and this will be there first kidding.When they were in heat I had my buck in with them for a few weeks. I would watch them daily, and they finally allowed him to mount them on Sep 26th 2011. I know he could have bred them...
