I've dealt with this a few times. The first time I suffered for many months and went to a doctor. Now, he never told me exactly what it was (so maybe same as yours, maybe not, but it was intense heel pain). He told me to soak my feet in hot water every day. I was surprised -- so simple? I was...

So glad she's home and doing well. You'll both make it through the enforced inside-time. And I LOVE the idea of those tags! Very nice!

I was thinking of those kitty calm-down diffusers. I've had some drama here recently and they were recommended to me. But I see you have one so ... I hope something works for you!

I love Texas too. :) I was born here, and glad to be back home. And yes, for the most part, I love the attitude 'round here. :) And people are generally friendly and helpful. We are having an awful drought here too ... somewhere between the forests to the east and ranchlands in the central...

And I almost choked when reading THAT comment ...been laughing for half an hour reading this thread ... y'all are all great. :) And ... Love ya OFG!!! And I'll probably have the "New and Improved" Stairway to Heaven playing in my head for the rest of the day. It's gonna be a fun funny day. :lau

I may go ahead and worm the wether. :) So far today though, he actually seems to be doing a lot better. I AM going to need to address the worm issue in some fashion pretty quick, as it's starting to get warm and I don't want anyone getting too many. His eyelids are already pale enough that he...

Just get another dog. He'll have a pal, you'll have protection. I'd vote for a German Shepherd. :lau I know, I'm a lot of help. Sowwy!!! (and I'm just teasing you, in case I don't show it well in type. I really do hope you find a good solution!). :)

Know what you mean about the barking dog (haha I can at least CHANGE the subject). Our neighbors had a pen near the bedroom window and the dog barked a LOT. Then I learned he had been born in that pen, and not left it his entire life. They brought him food once a day and that was it. I started...

Ah, our ground is NOT wet and nasty by any means. Drought year. And never-ending winds to shoo away any water we DO happen to get. I'm reduced to watering my pasture areas even to keep the whole place from becoming drylot. I only water deeply, and infrequently, so the ground is NOT wet (except...

I'm sure others with more experience will speak up, but ... Pretty much all the labs I have known were big loving softies, more likely to greet a burglar and give him a tour of your home than offer to bite him. I'm sure there are ways to encourage him to be more protective, but I'm not sure what...

Glad to hear you got your fence up, and if your computer ever cooperates, I'd love to see a photo too. My garden last year was NOT whimsical. More like "redneck knock-together" and I sure was glad when the tomatoes covered most of the structure, lol. Loooovvveee the pallet garden! I'm almost...

Glad to hear yours are doing better too, Free. That's one thing that made me wonder. Seems she spends almost all of her time lying down, and that's not what I expect of even a few-day old baby goat. Course she's not even two days old yet, and if she lets out a tiny call, mama rushes to her to...

Thanks Free. :) I've actually been doing something similar -- putting her leg in proper position while standing for a few moments as that is about as long as she will hold it. When she lies down it's more natural though so every time I am there when she lies down I make sure the joint is in the...

Thanks again all. :) I think the nursing is going to be ok. She's better than she was -- she keeps getting better and better. She'll stay latched and suckling for about 30 or so seconds, she finds the teat most of the time, and mom is nudging her into position where before she often backed...

Also gave kid another 2cc or so of liquid B since it seemed to help so much. :) She's NOT happy getting milk from a syringe but she must be swallowing it.

Thanks again. :) Vet gave me 1cc of selenium (hope it's BoSe) but wouldn't advise except he said he wouldn't repeat the dose. Said legs should clear up on their own anyway. I gave the doeling 1/2cc IM. I got just 3ml of fresh colustrum in her after milking mom and getting about 12oz. I didn't...

And last check before leaving for vets (of course the guineas escaped and I had to move boy goats and llama so goslings could have their space) ... She is warm, standing up trying to nurse again and doing a little better job, and the foot joints are straight, but very wobbly. BoSe can't hurt...

And thanks Glenolam! If she needs it, I have about 8 oz saved from yesterday's colostrum I can give her. Thanks!

And on my way for BoSe. My lg animal vet sells by the dose (less than the gas for the drive) but if I go there I can make it to work this am. So that's what I'm doing next. :)
