So aprox. 2-3 weeks ago one of my 4 goats started to exhibit signs of lice/mites. ( never had it here on farm before) I treated her as follows: Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar on her back Organic Spray- I can't remember what the name was.. It was for horses but the local co-op said that it would...

update... My girl is doing better.. but her skin is still SUPER flaky.. especially around the back of her legs. The vet did a couple tests ( blood-skin scraping) and said that they didn't *see* any mites or lice... but her symptoms all show that is what she has. Also- her white blood cells were...

I am calling the vet ASAP in the a.m... I tried to call tonight but they don't have even have a machine that you can leave a message.. sheesh!!! She is still not feeling great... although I did get a bit more milk from her today... about a cup. I tested it and it isn't mastitis .... Her skin on...

I will not give any more Molass. or drench... I had NO idea that could make her worse.. I forgot to mention in my previous post that I spent 3 hours in the barn earlier giving it a purge... everything was cleaned out and all Goats were dusted with DE- along with the barn floor. This was her...

One week ago I noticed that one out of my 4 goats had white flakes of skin on her...( We have never had lice here before)... I thought that It was dry skin. After doing some research... I believe it's lice. I used the following treatment on her: Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar on her back Organic...

Who knows.. New England weather is so unpredictable!! Incredibly frustrating... one day it's 55 degrees the next day 35... we've had a REALLY bad winter.. and It won't go away! I thought about giving Iverc. orally... and I read a lot of great stuff about the equisect fly spray.... -

Can I pour a bit directly on them? It is still cold over here 30-40 degrees and I don't want to soak them with water

I noticed that one of my goats (not pregnant) has dandruff all over her spine and the back of her legs... Upon inspection.. my other three goats have the same thing going on and I think that it is lice... One of the goats is 3 months pregnant and so - I'd like to use a product that is safe on...

Thanks.. The kids did really well and found great homes... The boys were wethered.. but one of the testicles didnt' drop completely on one of the boys...- so we informed the buyer of this. They said that this boy is SO full of spunk and the vet said that it was because he still has one testicle...

So I set up a baby monitor in the barn tonight.. so I can not only make myself crazy all day long peering out the window watching for *signs* but I can wake up every 10 min with every little nose they make in the barn to view them on the screen. lol I really wouldn't be such a nut about this...

So.. my non preg. doe is STILL bleeding. Her tail is starting to be really gross as It passes over her lady bits when she wags it. Do you think that it's time to bring her to the vet.. I thought that they only stayed in heat 24-48 hours.. Shouldn't she have stopped bleeding by now? She is still...

lol sympathy labor...never heard that one before! Maybe she can speed up the process for fluff! I *thought* that I knew how to check for ligaments.. but when I get out there I feel like I have no idea what I am doing! Is there a chart or something that can help me?

Thanks for responding... Last time She went Early...I'm wondering if I should put her in the barn now just in case?? That is good to know about the blood.. I just checked on her again and it is still the same little drip.drip. here and there...

My doe is due on the 11th of August.. and this morning I noticed some boogery goo coming out of her back side.. What do you think?? I have a doe that is 16 months and I have tried to breed her the last two months but she has not taken. ( not gone into heat at ALL) - It was the first time with...

My goats have been especially itchy lately. One of my does ( I have 4) has rubbed a quarter size spot on her side down to almost bare skin. I looked them over and did not see any lice or mites but I'm thinking that I should treat them because of the biting at their feet and the missing spot of...

I tried to take a couple of photos of the twin boys.. .it looks like one of them is polled and the other is not... tell me what you think....

Well... we missed it again! GRRR :( We just finished up dinner and I told my daughter... let's clean the dishes then head to the barn.. well.. we should of just left the dishes! Mable kidded RIGHT before we got there! She had FOUR adorable babies! 3 girls and 1 boy!!! The boy is the only one...

Thank you- I view every day with my daughter as a gift and we couldn't be happier that she was able to have these amazing animals as part of her life. You can follow her journey on this site if you'd like.... http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/madisonsantosuosso/journal/index/0/0/asc I will...

oh...one more question... the mom is polled...can you tell from the pics if the boys are too??

Well... The verdict is in... Charolette was not supposed to go until the 15th and she went on the 9th! I missed it by minutes! :( My daughter was playing a game at the kitchen table and I said to myself... hmm.. it is sunny out and the rest of the herd is basking in the sun.... Where is...
