The vet refused to give me anything for giardia (sp?), especially because Loopy (the one I didn't think was going to make it) is doing EXCELLENT, so she believed it was some sort of toxin though we never did figure out what it was. Dizzy never did get any symptoms. Paul was put on antibiotics...

Oh.... and we use voldka or everclear for the floors.

As far as cleaning chemicals go, we're pretty limited. Most of what I use consists of baking soda, vinegar, steam and citrus essential oils and tea tree oil. We do have bleach for some of the laundry, but they don't have access to the laundry room. I don't know what's wrong with them. I'm...

We don't have mouse poison anywhere because of dogs and kids. We use traps exclusively. We haven't had them exposed to our barn cats at all.

I managed to get ahold of our vet this morning and asked about salmonella. She tested for that as well, I asked her about nutrical (which we already have on hand) and gave them some this morning. We don't have any houseplants because of dogs/cats/birds... The cats have not been outside at...

Sorry I didn't get back to everyone sooner. He's actually a tri-color. I thought he would be black and white, but once momma got him all cleaned up, he turned out to be black, brown and white. I should have some new pics up soon.

I know cats aren't technically part of this website, but I've gotten good advice about other animals, and I'm hoping someone can give me a clue. I have three kittens from different litters ( got them three weeks ago), their names/ages/symptoms are: Loopy- 12 weeks-- SEVERE diarrhea (sp?), no...

She is being such a good mama. She immediately started cleaning him up. Of course, she didn't have him in the stall. She had him outside during a freaking lightning storm, which I had to be out with her in. At least she picked a gulley.

My Sweet Ethel had a bouncing tri-color baby boy at 2 pm today. Just wanted to share.

I just had another "cute" one this last weekend. I was out, came home to find some lady had come up onto my porch (which is gated on both sides because it leads to the yard), and through the gate on the OTHER side. Both gates were open, and she was letting her dog chase my animals. (I have my...

Thanks for the info and advice. I've kept goats for years, and this is the first time I've ever had any respiratory issues in the goats. I started her on pennicillin last night. I didn't treat for pneumonia first per my vets reccomendations (admittedly, I don't care for the man, but he's the...

Seems like it would be easier to just change the spelling to the "wrong" way. FAIL!!! HAha.

So, first, don't take me for an "expert." I have had loads of goats over the years though, and nearly all my own vet care for my goats, but I still ran into something new today, and had to hop on here and ask a question. I would be concerned about a belly if it is big (like if she looks...

We haven't had any issues with stealing, but we have two llamas, a male and female, and a great pyr who is almost 160 lbs. She's a great LGD, she know who is and isn't allowed into the pasture. It's only 3 acres, so she can keep a really good eye on things. The part that frustrates me the...

I have a pygmy doe named Tiny that is 6 years old. She is a fairly new acquisition; got her in February. We thought she might be pregnant, but I gave her ivermectin to get her on the same worming schedule as all the goats and her belly went WAY down. I gave her and the kids (that were old...

Thank you guys so much for the info. I just went and fed him again, nice, normal poop still. He was HUNGRY again, and sucked down his bottle like a pro. I've been told a LOT of people loose their first calf (or few), but it's looking like he's going to pull through this. Thank God!

I have a pygmy buck for sale. He is about a year and a half old. Really cute little guy. Not registered. White with black spots. Has nice beard with a black stripe in it. Black under his eyes looks like fake lashes, has a "Gerry Curl" over his forehead. I call him "The Goat Formerly Known...

I live in Southwest Washington, near the Portland/Vancouver metro area. I think I wouldn't have any problems if I hadn't ended up surrounded by neighborhoods.

She is a pretty little thing, isn't she? Good luck with the bottle feeding. Hope all goes well.

I think you are totally within reason not giving tours to random people. I live in an area that, over the last 20 years, has developed around us. We went from a small, quiet farming community to a small town. There is a high-density neighborhood along our back property line, and another one...
