Not at all... I have included some pics..

They are year round breeders - or so I was told- similar to my Nigerians.... They are in great condition- active- eating well- they had a check up prior to getting to my place and got a clean bill of health from the vet. The only thing that I noticed today was that one of them had a little...

I have two mini fainting does. I purchased them a couple months back along with a buck. The girls are 13-15 months old and the buck is 4 years old. ( buck purchased from another farm) They have been together for 6 weeks and neither have gone into heat. I contacted the previous owner and she...

The title pretty much sums it up.... I have trying to find Mini Silkie fainting goats. We currently have Nigerians... which I love... but we would like to add another breed into our mix. I have searched Craigslist.. and I have not been able to find anyone with them. I also did a quick search on...

Yeah... I read that online.... once you give it ... they will test positive... but I am just so nervous because I lost ALL my other goats... and I would of always wondered if she ended up getting it..... What If I would of gave her the Vacc... could of it been prevented... kwim? I will have to...

I have to pull kids from a CL doe and bottle feed them. I have a doe that is CL negative that will be in milk for about 4 months when I need to bottle feed the babies. I plan to milk her out and give that milk to them. I know that they need the Colostrum the first few days of birth... I was...

I ended taking the 3rd doe down too... :( I felt like I couldn't take the chance. I also gave the CL vaccine to the last doe standing. My first blunder....She is nursing her babies so hopefully that was okay to do... I couldn't find any info about that online. I gave her Case-BAC from Valley...

I have never CL on my property before... and the doe in alcatraz didn't have a leaking abscess when I put in in the stall away from the others. The 2nd doe that was breed with her... I JUST noticed a marble size bump under her jaw 3 days ago.. so again nothing leaking. I am so stumped as to how...

Well... as much as I enjoy being right... I wish that I was wrong in this situation. My hunch was that the other doe that was breed with the positive one had CL. .... Well blood work shows that she is a very high 236!... def. positive. and to make matters worse she is pregnant. sigh. I had my...

Well biopsy came back as positive. :hit I had the rest of the herd tested via blood sample sent away to WADDL - I have a strong feeling that the other doe sent to be bred with the positive one is also infected. My only hope now is that the rest of the herd is clean. When I contacted the...

Yes... in Alcatraz... Poor thing. I feel so bad but the vet said to keep her locked away until the test comes back. The vet didn't lance it because " It is just starting to fill and there isn't even enough to drain out".... But it is the size of a golf ball and hard. ... She did an Ultrasound...

My vet never found out the cause of the itching... I had several tests done and still no answers.. very frustrated to say the least. They said that it was def. not lice or mites. She was convinced that it also was not staph. I asked about a mineral deficiency and she said that it did not present...

LOL!!! Maybe try a Sulfur dip.... that is what my vet suggested yesterday! I mentioned Staph.. and mineral deficiency but she thinks that it is lice. ( from the pics) She was unable to see them in person yesterday! So today I get to apply stinky sulfur to them ( and for the next 6 weeks).. any...

It just recently started getting rainy... we've had a horribly cold winter.. with snow STILL on the ground in many places.

Does staph infection always present itself with pimples or sores? The tri colored doe's skin is smooth and now.. bald where the hair fell out. IN other places you can see a lot of dry flaky skin. They ALL have the Horrible dry flaky skin.. I've had them for almost 4 years and never seen such a...

How would my vet test for Staph infection? Should I call and mention it to them?? They try hard but aren't the best "goat vets"....My goats and one other family bring their goats to them- They deal with a lot of horses-dogs-cats....

Where would I go for a Mineral Analysis? My vet?? What is the best bet to do here.... Call vet in the a.m and have them take a look at the pregnant doe..get a mineral analysis done ( assuming blood work) and skin scrapping off of her?.... or go to TS and pick up Ivermectin and start the shots? I...

I buy the goat minerals from Hoggers.. Golden blend.. free choice - You think that I should bring the preg. goat in and have her tested prior to the ivermec. shots... or just try the shots and see what happens? She did 3 skin scrapping on the black and white doe and said that she found nothing...

Thank you so much!! And I will probably put them on the milk stand and offer them some grain... then quickly surprise them...:confused:

So at what dose would you suggest I give the injectable invermectin? .. and how often? I want to start this ASAP...
