She is not acting outwardly sick. She is alert and curious with a healthy appetite.

These lumps are not very big and are on the side/shoulder area. Many of them are not noticeable unless you feel her skin. I have been researching it but I can not pin down what it might me. Abscess (though that is usually on the neck area), mange, CL? Those are the only ideas I could come up...

Thanks for the links and advice Laura. :)

Oh, definitely yum. :P (I'm not too picky about food and I love trying new things. I do draw the line at squid and octopus though.) Pecan Pie?

Leftover B-cake is great, especially if it is vanilla. :D Fried Okra?

Well, I checked her again this morning. Not a drop of milk and the kids are still trying to nurse. I have noticed that her poo has been clumpy at night, but by the afternoon it seemed to get better. This morning the poo she had was just a big brown clump without the individual pellets. Sound...

My Alpine, Jolie Fille, has three week old doekids. This morning I noticed that her udder was very empty looking and has been throughout the day. The kids try to nurse her, but she walks away. Probably because she has no milk anyway. What would cause a doe with kids to seemingly stop producing...

Elfie is beautiful. Good picks. :lol:

He is handsome. Is he a Nigerian Dawrf? If so, I am totally falling in love with that breeds color patterns.
