Hello. I am new to this site and I have a question.
So, I have made the decision to dehorn my pygme goat...he's an inside goat and after serious debating, I think this is the best choice for my family. Anywho...I've had the bands on for about 2 to 2 1/2 months, but I do not feel like they are making the progress they should. I banded him at 3 months old. His bands are on but his horns are still growing! I had them as close to his head as possible, but now they have grown and he's going to have some pretty good nubs if this continues. There is a good notch where the bands are working, but I feel like they haven't made any progress lately. I change the bands every week or 2 at the most. My question is, I kinda want to band down lower to his head again, but I feel like its going to be starting this process all over again. What should I do? I thought they would stop growing once I banded and they started getting the indentations, but its not. I did ALOT of research before I did this, so I feel like I've done it right, I just don't know why its taking so long and why they are still growing and if I should start back at the base of the head again. Help please!!!
