So we ended up putting Peanut butter down :( She kept getting worse and toward the end of the week could not even stand. We had the vet put her to sleep and then the vet opened her up to see what gives. She found a couple of odd things... First- although peanut butter was NOT eating for at...

wanted to add that Charolette is constantly "humping" the herd leader with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.... What gives???

how would you go about stealing cud from another goat???

Okay... so I gave her probiotics this a.m ... should I do this twice a day? Also... I had to get the slippery elm in the capsule form at Whole foods because I could not find it at my local co-op. I did however order it online and should receive the powder in a few days. I have never heard of...

Thank you for your replies.. I will give her the probiotics tomorrow a.m and ask my vet about the lactated ringers or sodium chloride.

Her temp on Friday was 104.6 and has since dropped to 102.5 - She is not grinding her teeth. I will try to give her some probiotics - I have the powered form that I usually sprinkle on their food once in a while.... but since she is not interested in eating much should I add water and give it to...

Peanut Butter is 5 months old and has been in good health up until 6 days ago. She started pulling back from the herd ( we have 4 other goats and 1 is her mom) - Standing in one spot and not running around. Not very interested in food or water. We brought her to the vet on Friday and they did a...

Both are first time mom's and we can't wait to see their little babies!!! Who do you think will go first?????? Charolette and Mable Mable Mable Charolette Charolette

Ya... the little doeling's brother has already been sold and is with another family. I just like to keep mom with baby for as long as possible. I have been separating at night but keep them with mom during the day. I don't ever wean during the day... kinda like Fias farm philosophy on this...

I am hoping to get some pics.. or maybe a video this time to share - It is always cool to see baby goats on ultrasound! Michele

Thank you for that suggestion- I will do that! Michele

Here we go...yet again! We have tried to breed Mable 2 other times... this is the third. She has yet to become pregnant. She has never kidded and I'm thinking that maybe changing bucks might work. We have her Ultrasound scheduled for the 17th of Oct..... So this next week is going to be a...

If I milk my Nigerian in the a.m and get 2 cups... can I milk her in the p.m- get two more cups... and combine the two milks into the same jar.... or do I need to keep those jars separate? We have just started milking her and she is doing good- i think? :idunno She is REALLY calm on the stand...

I have twins ( boy/girl) born on 8/1/13- They are stunning! Would love for them to go together! Check out my website to view photos and pricing. Michele www.moomoomeadows.com eek... I don't know how to get rid of that Auction post- didn't mean to do that!

LOL... Me too! The ears drive me coo-coo! :hide Michele

Thanks for all your input! I have decided to give it a try. I am going to start milking her next week.... then add Fenugreek the week after and compare the amount of milk difference. I will keep you posted! ;) Michele

:pop Noo one????

I was thinking of giving my N.D doe in milk Fenugreek seeds. She just had her baby 2 weeks ago and we will be milking her soon. Does anyone have suggestions/experience with this? I am nursing my 6 month old.. and I thought .. Hey.. it works for me to increase the milk flow... why not her!!:D...

Well.. We took her to the vet for an U.S ( She was due in OCT.) and Nada. :he This is the 2nd attempt - we are going to try one more time with her... and this time we are going to bring along another doe as a backup.. if she doesn't take.. maybe this other doe will. :fl Michele

Great!- Maybe I will try to milk her fuller side. Do you then offer the milk back to the kids? Michele
