    He got a revitalyte bottle with a dose of di-methox and safeguard at 4pm...he's still behaving well thank goodness...still has the poops though they may be firming up a tad...if he's still poopy at 10pm I guess I'll toss a little scour halt his way with some more revitalyte before I go to bed...

    SCOURS? the day AFTER cocci prevention starts?

    I'm REALLY NOT worried as much as confused at the moment. The poop looks like this: Crisco looks like this RIGHT now: Looks on the outside (except for a dirty hiney) like his normal self to me... Now, as far as HOW TO TREAT FOR PREVENTION...I have that down pretty well and I SUPPOSE I...

    Dwarf buck with dandruff?

    What about actually flax seeds? I have a friend that grinds them in a coffee grinder thingy, and gives a TINY amount to her horses daily this time of year to make 'em shiny...she buys a GINORMOUS bag and always offers to share....should I take her up on it this year? Would that be beneficial...

    Pregnant doe looking poor...LOOK AT LUCY NOW :) UPDATE WITH PICS!

    WEll...it's be almost 2 months and I think my Lucy Goosey is starting to look pretty sharp...not perfect...but MUCH BETTER ALREADY! She got a bath and a trim today - all that extra fluff was keeping her too warm already - just knocked enough off with the clippers to cool her off a tad, but...

    How do you stop a great pyr puppy from being a hot mess?

    If he would bury the trash I'd probably thank him! LOL :) The burn pile is "the trash that won't light"...I've been fighting that thing since it started raining and they lifted the ban to get it to ignite...so if Luke would just start burying trash...I'd call a truce!

    Dwarf buck with dandruff?

    I dunno...I'm a little fried in the brains after a day of bathing things outside in the sun :D When the horses get "muck itch" we just always have used head and shoulders to clear it up...it's pretty much ALWAYS hot and humid here - so once a year I get SOMETHING with some sort of fungus that...

    Dwarf buck with dandruff?

    So...I've been out clipping goats today...being as the weather is hotter now and all...just taking it down a little, since the nights are still cool.... As I bathed (yes, bathed) and clipped each goat, all looked fine except our dwarf buck, Edan - he has the dandruff! I did him like a horse -...

    How do you stop a great pyr puppy from being a hot mess?

    So leave him a small pile of things he treasures....and pick up the rest? I can handle that....a SMALL treasure area wouldn't bother me so very much....it's the widespread mess over 10 acres of "I been looking for that" type items that kills me.... So, let him have a little of it...and if the...

    First litter totals were 4, 4, and 6...2 are ....um...IDK...one is solid black, the other brown and white with a little black, and a PB California doe...I figured since I was going for meat, and the 2 "IDK" bunnies were meaty looking AND fun colors AND super tame and sweet...well..why not give...

    How do you stop a great pyr puppy from being a hot mess?

    Literally - I pick up the yard, he destroys it...I set something down...he disappears with it and I'm out there in the dark looking for things... How do you train an LGD properly to KNOCK IT OFF AND STAY OUTTA THE BURN PILE BEFORE YOU LIGHT IT EVEN! I swear...I have more trash IN THE YARD...

    odd weaning question...

    IDK...but my personal vote would be that udder coverings and such are BOUND to be a bigger PITA than separation....think about it... Tape = sticky mess, covered in dirt and hair from being out of doors PLUS a clever kid will find a way to nibble it off, eat it, leave it hanging there half on...

    EggsforIHOP's kidding thread ...THE LAST BABY OF THE SEASON IS HERE!!!

    You're right! It is really cute, and my husband NEVER gets to name anything...of course his first suggestion is usually "Buttermilk"...I STILL don't know why...but I think we shall call him Cadbury....it is kinda cute to think of him as a "naughty cad" when gets breeding age and is less than...
