Chillin' with the herd
Hello.
So I am in Tennessee and in the last few days, we have had buckets of rain dumped on us. I have two goats, who have a covered shelter, but the rain blew in the last day and got everything wet.
I believe my mama goat might have lice and/or mites, so she is has patchy fur (if anyone has an suggestion or advice on how to take care of that without getting a goat wet would be greatly appreciated as well), but I noticed today she is dancing and kicking like she is being attached by flies, even though it is 44 degrees out and no flies are around.
I inspected her the back of her hind legs and there are weird white patches that look like a kind of rash. To be honest, this is the first full body inspection I have been able to do in good lighting, so I don't know if she's had it for a while, but this is the first time I have noticed her kicking. So I feel like it may be relatively new. Other than that, she's healthy and spunky.
Her daughter is kind of dancing but I didn't get to check her legs. I figured whatever I do to her mamma, I will do to her as well, just to be on the safe side.
I have attached pictures of her back legs, and one of her front to do the comparison.
Any advice? Thank you!
