We had our doe kids disbudded by the vet but they've ended up growing spurs. At first they would just knock off after a certain length so we didn't keep too close of a watch on them. I've just been out to the run for their feeding and upon closer inspection this time, I see that they are growing around and into one of the does' heads. It hasn't broken through the skin that I can see, but it's only a matter of time. It was hard to notice this was happening as all I can see is a small bump in her hair, giving the illusion that it's not too big.
They are quite soft and move around easily, and she seems to be bothered if I touch them too much.
So what do we do, besides call the vet? What will he do for them? I've read to reburn the area, and when they were done the first time he sedated them and gave them a local pain killer. I'm sure it would be the same if he did it again. The does are about eight months old and I am not ready to have a lifetime of this :/
