Freya gave birth to two beautiful baby boys last night!
They are doing good I've kept a watchful eye on them all day.
My question is can the father stay in the yard with them? He seems protective and doesn't seem to have a desire to bother them. I was told with her last pregnancy that he...
Yes I've tried treats and different food combos. She loves to eat, but she will stop eating to act up. And once she eats it all there is no hope.
I started milking her by hand to begin with and I do end up milking by hand once the milker stops but it really doesn't seem to make a difference she...
Help! My goat is terrible to milk. She is a large breed (alpine mix), and she does everything in her power to stop me from milking her. She absolutely hates being milked! I started just by tying her up to some fencing. I would use a halter lead to tie her head, and then a leash for her back...
Oh boy I am so happy! My boy has finally recovered!! He is back to normal plus some added piss and vinegar! He is being alil more aggressive than before but I am so glad that I didn't lose him. Yay!!
My buck is roughly 2years old. We were wondering if it is still possible to castrate him or if he is too old. And if it is possible, how? Would it be an at home procedure or surgery with a vet? Any info appreciated!
old photo but i know everyone loves pictures!
he is a bit bigger now but not much
he is doing really good today. Seems the diarrhea has stopped, he is drinking well and eating some. He has all his strength back. I gave him more biomycin and a shot a vitamin B complex, and gave him 5ml of probiotics. Hopefully by tomorrow he will be eating again.
Today I went back out to him. He is alot stronger today, and I was not able to give him his pills because of it. So i ended up crushing them and forcing them with liquids. I took some hay from my house (because the type they had out there is different, I dono what kind it is). He is drinking...
My local goat connection had me give him cattle bolus, forced some water and bio mycin 200
He is too weak to fight me but strong enough to stand and walk. We are considering starting an IV.
His eye lids are pale. He doesn't have stool coming out, rather a clear/yellowy liquid and what appears to...
I moved my buck out to my inlaws when my doe gave birth 6-13-14. He has been staying in a fenced in grass area with chickens. He is fed an all stock, and given horse treats. Has an automatic waterer. They throw some scraps/leftovers in for the chickens. I just got a call from my mother inlaw...
Okay so my Doe gave birth 6-13-14. I was told to start milking her shortly after, which I have. I have noticed little bumps on her teat or nipple. Could this be from the baby nursing or me?
Tinker Bell will be 2 weeks old tomorrow. How long should momma have bloody discharge? It is dark red in color, and smells terrible. Of course she is covered in gnats.
i never accepted unfriendly needless with my goats lol I can be kinda stubborn. I chased down my buck and held it and repeated until he became comfortable with me lol I would say atleast stand/sit near them while they eat so they can get comfortable with ur presents
