Glad to hear she is looking better. I would suspect a parasite, cocci might be hanging around. When we have had mucusy poos in the past, that has been the culprit. She might be fighting them off and the is good, but you may need to help her a bit with a nice sulfa. The fecal will tell.

Well that is just NOT true. By the way, Nigerian Dwarf goats are the best breed ever and is what she should get.

Hi Lesa! Well, I am an enabler and addict. I work hard to get everyone around me to buy goats and pretty much spend my day waiting for my next fix.

My girl Red is a somewhat on purpose/somewhat by accident line breeding. I was sorting does and bucks as I did my line up for last year and I loved the topline and udder of her dam but thought she could some more width so I picked a buck for her that paired nicely. I am sure I got distracted...

The breed demand in your area and the background of the goat really influence what you might ask. Here, there are few Nigerian Dwarf goats. Wethers I sell for $75, bucks between $200-$400 depending on from which line. My best milker Bluebell and the one who has won the most awards--her kids...

I have a cougher. We determined that after a vet check to look her over a few times but when getting herself a mouth of cud, she coughs. No fever, no nasal discharge, clear lungs, no parasites---it is just her and it drives me nuts. However, I am always fast to inspect a cough because...

Very glad to hear it has cleared up. :thumbsup

Do female hyena have something that looks like a winky?

Oh the teaching lesson? LOl well I was trying to explain to a class of seniors that while they might get some casual information from Wikipedia or might consult their works cited pages for resources, it is not a credible source in itself for use in a college paper. As part of it, I created a...

Sorry to hear of your buck. Can you take in a fecal on the yearling buck? He should be very able to get the job done but you might want to do some testing to make sure he is in good health.

I'd say someone is definitely renting a room.

Very neat! I recall someone here looking for them a few years back and think they were trying Canada if I recall right.

@elevan has helped me to be better at standing up for what is right @promiseacres is kind-hearted and devoted @OneFineAcre is passionate (and has helped me to be a bigger goat addict which is ALWAYS a good trait) @Southern by choice is soulful and patient And I am going to have to come back...

Macho goats! Maybe I could cross them with the "Norwegian Dwarf Pygmy" I saw yesterday on a farm site.

Thanks promiceacres. I will ask her about that. There were a few chemicals she mentioned but I don't recall that one---she might have said it but it was a lot to take in.

We are using Advantix for flea/tick/mosquito and for now are still on heartguard/ivermectin until we do a follow up blood test on them to see if we are still seeing the microfilaria (baby heartworms---for those who may not know, the ivermectin will NOT kill the adults but is supposed to destroy...
