We have a lovely Nubian doe that we have had since about May. She was preggers when we got her, and was in pretty bad shape. Not life threatening, but she was too skinny and had dull, dry hair. We wormed her and got her on good groceries, and she's done great ever since. She has, however, a lump in her throat.
When you say a goat has a lump in the throat, people automatically assume it's CL, but it certainly doesn't fit the CL description to a T. She's had it to at least some degree pretty much since we got her, we really didn't even notice it at first. I'll post a pic on her in a bit if I can get supper finished, goats milked and fed, etc. etc. Her baby, who is just over a month old, also has lump in her throat. It looks like to me what I see described online as "milk neck."
Anybody had to deal with goat goiters? I will TRY to get a pic on here to show you what I mean, but at that rate I get stuff done, it may be next year.
So tell me what you know first hand about goat goiter.......
