Just wondering if this looks normal.. I've googled images of disbudded goats but haven't seen any like mine.. So I'm just checking with the experienced folks... Also, why does it look like there's metal? The silver part? When will it start healing? I've not noticed a single change since I got him a week ago.

The metallic looking stuff is something that was sprayed on. I'm not sure what it is called, though. Probably antibacterial.

Bucks and wethers have large bases
They did a figure 8

Keep an eye on that one on the left
I see some pink skin down at the bottom

Sometimes you can get a little infection at the skin

Can just spray a little first aid spray on it

Phew.. Thanks y'all. And I did notice the pink.. Will be closely watching and applying some antibacterial.

So he's been scratching his head on his brothers as well as branches and stuff.. Then I woke up to his bud looking like this... Normal? I've kept antibiotic ointment on it...
