Thanks again for all of your advice. I do go out four or five times a day to spend with him. But I have decided to take him back to the goat farm where I got him. He will be much happier there. I am sad to see him go as I have really grown attached to him, as he is to me. But I feel this is the...

I think I will have to find another home for him then. I just can't have more animals. He was fine this morning, very happy for his bottle. Thanks for the advice. Sincerely Vee

He is quiet now in the shed. We have been having gusts of 70kms an hour. This is the first time he has cried. He is our only goat, but he has been with us for three weeks now, and is usually quiet unless hungry, and he has our company quite a lot. I guess this is his first storm, it's crazy...

I was just wondering if goats hate very windy, cold and blustery conditions. I have a 7 week old buckling, and he has been beating a fair bit. I thought he was hungry, so I fed him, but he still kept on crying. It's been high winds and quite stormy. I have put him in his shed and he seems quiet...

Thanks for all the replies. Today is the day I will give him three bottles of 400-500 mils instead of four bottles 300 mils. I have fed his bottle this morning, and have left quite a bit of lucerne hay there for him to chow down on. I hope he doesn't whinge until 2.00 pm :/ I will let you know...

Okay, I have read that at this age he should be having 3 bottles at 8.00 am, 2.00 pm and 9.00 pm with 8 - 12 0z a day. But my little buckling likes four bottles, 8.00 am, 12.00, 5.00 pm 9.00 pm. He is eating his Lucerne and doing well on that. Do I be strong and stick to the 8.00 2.00 and 9.00...

He is doing much better today. Took him to the vets, temp normal, no signs of anaemia, very well hydrated, alert and has put on half a kilo in weight in four days. He runs around after me when I'm outside, and settles his head into my shoulder when I pick him up. His stools firm up, then get a...

Today, we have a substantial difference in his poop. I have just bought some Rye and Oat Hay which is not so rich as the Lucerne. I have also bought the Oralject Goat & Sheep wormer. Should I try these first before thinking of the dreaded cocci? He isn't bleating as much, and seems much more...

Is injectable? Or can i give it orally?

Is Di-Methox obtainable from fodder and stockfood places?

Hiya, I just thought I would introduce myself. I have a 6 week old buckling and he has been scouring for two weeks. I have taken him to the vet twice, and he is on his third day of scour ban. He has been grazing all the lawn and I am pretty sure his scour is feed related. A week ago, his temp...
