A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Six kids

[BoboFarm]

I'm so sorry to hear that Dancer isn't 100%. I hate to be this person, but what is your goal for him? Will he be staying with you? Do you plan on selling him? I think spending the $46 on finding out what's wrong with him, if anything, is well worth it. If you plan on breeding your doe and buck again it would also be worth investing in the above mentioned testing, especially if you plan on selling future kids. Making sure you have healthy foundation stock is the first step towards healthy returns from kids.

Well our goals is either to sale kids or use them for meat. I would love to get him seen but I can't go against my husband on that. It seems more likely to be the G6S all things considered. I took these right after he drank 6oz bottle.

 

[Southern by choice]

I would suspect G6S with the pics too and symptoms.

I am getting ready to pull hairs and send in my tests to VGL for G6S on my kids. It is easy to do and no need for blood or anything.

You simply pull 30 hairs with root and send in.

Without a discount through a registry it is more expensive...

My husband had to put dancer down today... He could barely stand he tried to walk but just fell. He couldn't stand up on his own we had to help him up he was covered in urine and fecal. I am going to be getting an alpine or different breed of buck I can't take this again.

 

[BoboFarm]

I'm sorry to hear that

 

[promiseacres]

sorry

 

[DustyBoot]

I'm so sorry. It sounds like there may have been nothing you could do for him, but you did try and he was well cared for.

I am not recommending you go against your husband's wishes in regards to going to a vet in the future, but as stubborn as I can be, my wife is pretty influential in making me deal with reason and or the cold shoulder, etc. Surely he would listen to your persuasion, in a loving way of course.
