Loving the herd life
One of our young does, age 10 months, went off her feed the other day. I do think she needs wormed, but in addition, I checked her mouth today and noticed that one of her teeth is rotated about 90 degrees, and I suspect that might have caused her to stop eating.
I know that goats lose and grow teeth around this age, but is it common to have a tooth twist like this before it falls out? It's slightly lose but doesn't seem like it'll fall out imminently. Also, I was watching her take a few mouthfulls of pellets today. She was chewing awkwardly/looked painful. She does seem to be eating grass and browse but isn't doing much with her grain ration nor treats. She maybe be losing a little weight, but it's hard to tell. She's drinking and licking the mineral block. She also is keeping up with the rest of the herd.
I'm going to worm her ASAP, and I've given her a couple doses of Nutri-Drench. Should I be doing anythign else right now?
