The vet is wonderful and is doing a lot of work to help us with this. Moxidectin was recently approved for use in dogs and she is looking into it for this because if ivermectin isn't working, it is less hopeful. There is no damage to her heart at all because it was caught early so that is...

Oh boy, what a month of pooches! It was time for our doggies vet visit and I can't take more than one at a time. The vet does do farm calls but we needed some work done that couldn't be on site so 4 separate appointments were needed. Louie was first, our big 3/4 Anatolian and 1/4 Pyr. He...

Oh my gosh that is probably the cutest mommy pic I have ever seen.

I am sure they will do more follow up research on this. If it's a new study, I doubt many vets would be doing it.

Right. I think though that they injected the bud, charted growth for two months, compared it to data and such--- but then that was the end of the length that they charted it. I sometimes have scurs pop up later and I am wondering if they continue this study, watching say for a year, if it will...

This was very interesting. I was looking to see discussion of regrowth possibilities as most of the study seems to be on 3 months or younger. I wonder if as they age, if they have any regrowth or scurring. I see this, but it only says they recorded horn growth for two months and then compared...

This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy of injection of essential oil of Eugenia caryophyllata in the kid horn buds, as a new chemical technique for disbudding. Five-day-old healthy goat kids from both sexes (n = 16) were divided randomly into 4 equal groups. In groups 1, 2 and 3, 0.2...

I wouldn't advise it. If you do, be alert and present in case one gets tangled or a predator decides it is an easy target. We are using step-in posts and two strands of hotwire to keep our Boers where we are clearing raspberry, poison ivy and honeysuckle.

Our new bucks are fragrantly wooing their ladies. We sat and did some thinking through who would be best paired with whom and this is the week! Brunello is with our Luna and Yonnie (and he will not hold still for a pic---I need a helper ) Benedetto is with Bluebell and Nova Amontillado is...

BOTH lol!

I would give him a little more time. Our boer buck was a little late to get going. He had girls flirting with him and he had no clue. Of course, I had seen him play mount other boys in his pen. He eventually got it. My nigi bucks are raging love machines though.

I am so sorry. Do you have any pics of the legs of the other one?

How is she? When you say mucus, do you mean she is congested? I am glad you are getting a vet involved. It could be parasites, poisoning, illness and with the range of symptoms, it is hard to guess which. I hope all is well with her. Give us an update when you can.

I hope all is well.

Should be okay. I had a buck who would knock off his little scur from time to time and it would bleed a bit, but always cleared up after a few days.

I can't believe they actually stood still long enough to get them both looking up!

We are all moved in and officially closed on the house. We sure do have more to do but I am joyfully curled up with a cup of coffee in front of a fire and kids are quietly downstairs playing with all of the toys they have rediscovered since we hauled them out of storage. It is awesome...
