She’s been up and walking and eating like usual, and then her belly started rippling downward. Guess I’ll offer a calcium drench and see if she’ll let me feel her hips?
Not sure about the neighbor. I don’t really talk to that neighbor, but they’re within walking distance that’s why I’d even question it. I haven’t heard their goats in a few years though and I’ve never seen any of them around my yard; there’s some woods and a small field between us.
It would be...
Well y’all I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.
Today I went out and my goat, 8 years old, had some white stuff coming out of her bits and was a little swollen. Figured she’s in heat. Then my mom noticed she’s pretty bagged up. I’ve noticed her udder was a little bit lately, but nothing...
Hello there. It’s nice to catch up a little bit.
I gave the goose antibiotics and dewormer and everything I could throw at him for days. One morning he was literally drooling and couldn’t stand. Then, that evening, he just decided he didn’t want to be sick anymore and got up.
Finally finished...
It happens, he was fine in the afternoon and by the early morning he was coughing up blood and passed. At least he didn’t suffer long.
I’m so glad about the rest!!!
Seems like it’s been a while since I posted here. :thHow are y’all doing?
So, kitten was super sweet and got a great home.
Goats don’t appear to have CL, the abscesses are clearing up and seemed to stay small. My mom thinks horse flies, they’ve been bad this year. Only the smallest goat...
Well, a little kitten meandered its way to my yard. Malnourished and screaming. One of my big Muscovy drakes was trying to take care of it. I don’t know how I got such good boys, but I thank God. Who ever heard of a male duck trying to nurture a kitten? Now this little one is in the house...
Fantastically, and thank you for your advice!
It’s really nice to be able to earn a little cash or barter on the side(I will work for fence posts lol). It is the right season too; events out of town and summer vacation. This one is only for a few days. Which is perfect at the moment.
Still no...
Yep, I’m trying to start a new fashion trend with my goats. The fashion statement of rectangle shave and blue patches should catch on any day. In fact, I’m kinda surprised you haven’t heard of it already lol. Thanks for the advice y’all. Because it’s the weekend the goats get a break until...
I wish I’d taught my dog more hand signals when she was younger. Now she’s about fifteen and we have to yell at the top of our lungs if she doesn’t happen to see I’ve fed her. The other dog has the opposite problem though, he’s about fourteen and completely blind; but he always obeyed better to...
Unfortunately not locally. Give me a few years.
I’ve tried videos, maybe I’m just missing something really obvious. Like I’m not going close enough to the trachea or not deep enough. With my dead goat I got blood on stick four, so I thought I’d have a better shot now. Apparently not for my...
Bad news, I was trying to get a blood test and between my neighbor, brother, and I none of us could get blood from any goat. I finally got a tiny bit, but it sprayed out as I put the lid on. There are also two more goats I found these little wounds/abcesses on and it seems like more on the first...
