URGENT!!! Really skinny dairy goat needs to gain weight

[Feo]

You did it again! You are making a website? What will it be called? I would love to see it when you are done. I am also in the prosses of making a small website, to sell my soap etc. and to tell the ridiculous stories of my animals. It is called The Milking Stand and I hope to be finished and get it published by next week.

Oh never mind, I just realized you already had a website. Looks cool!

Actually I am dividing the site. I have a lot of articles not published etc... I want to separate it so info is on the main site and our Dairy goats/pedigrees and breeding line up on another. Easier for me to manage. They will be linked.

Glad she is doing better!

Really glad that your goat is doing better.

I love the name of your site, that is really catchy. As a fellow soap maker I would love to see some pictures of your creations.

Thanks all!
Here are some pics of my soaps but they dont look very good because the drying shelf i built is right next to the AC, and that cools them very fast making them look dusty.

Not to discount what the others said at all - but - like Green Acres Farm asked - how much and what are you feeding her?

I used to work with a vet and we would go on farm calls. When folks had a skinny animal they would tell us everything they had done....wormings, teeth floated, vitamins for this and supplements for that along with the best feed money can buy. First question doc would ask - how much are you feeding? All animals are different and some just need more calories to not only support themselves, but to manufacture milk too.

Definitely get that fecal - but also think about doling out a little more feed/hay.

I second that! I have a Saanen and she can out eat the rest of my goats (Nubians) any day! We do grain feed our goats and they are also free roaming for now...HA! I have the tendency to think she´s not getting ENOUGH! Also I wonder if she is calcium deficient by the look of her coat? A fecal would definitely end the debate!

The soap looks nice. I am struggling with the photography part for my website, they never look as good in the pictures. Lavender is hard to work with, mine always turns brown. I need to get busy this week and make some soap, it is supposed to rain so that will give me an excuse to stay inside and make soap.

I don't have anything on the site right now but it is http://beeudderlyhappy.com/site/

I have been busy building a dairy and have really let the soap and lotion take a break. I made 30 bottles of lotion last week and one person bought 27 of them so now I need to make more. And with Christmas coming I need to do some soap too.
