Over the winter we have noticed that this doe's lower front teeth have grown long and now quite loose. None of the other goats seem to have any dental issues.

I have herbs to pick up this week to try to help my animals out with barber pole loads. I have questions such as how did you convince the animals to eat them. Did you find that it helped get the worm loads down to a reasonable level. All info appreciated.

Okay Here is the scoop I bought this boy sight unseen from a goat breeder that I thought was a good outfit. Hmm wont do that again. So I show up to pick up my new pride and joy. My heart sank. There he was. All little and wormy looking. I took the overpriced kid home anyway. Well, he is also...

Anyone have any suggestions on how to convince a doeling to accept the bottle at this age. So far she has flat refused and is kicking up a major fuss. I'm worried she may get sick if this goes on. She is being offered goat milk.
