I'm excited for you! Looks like your new girl is settling in nicely! :)

Yes.

She sounds like she has a severe parasite load. Talk to your vet, have a fecal run. You’ll need to give supportive care. It can be difficult to bring a goat back at this stage.

Hard to tell from the pics, she looks thin but has a big belly? Can you feel her ribs/spine easily? When is she due to kid? Temp? It looks/sounds like she is having a major parasite bloom. I would be calling a vet out ASAP. Is she eating or drinking? How is her FAMACHA?

Is the lamb gaining weight?

Thanks! I think she is gonna be a good one. Everything lines up just right with her. Time will tell :fl I hear SBC say that all the time LOL

She is doing great! She is my favorite of the bunch, I'm a sucker for the tiny kids! I know the brown doe will be a nicer goat though. I like the name :) She is the black/white kid in the 2nd pic.

Snapped a few pics earlier today. The weather has been so nice over the last few days! Yesterday is was 80*f! Starting to get colder again though :( The babies are doing well. They are eating like crazy! Trying to do a better job this year with logging everything, trying to come up with my own...

I love them! So awesome. You gotta do Bushwacker one of these days. :D

I know you asked LS, but since he is having a rough time here’s a screenshot. Click the box (highlighted in read) Then click the spoiler button (yellow) It’ll let you name it and add what you want.

Congratulations on the lambs! I’m so happy the lil’ guy pulled through! Sorry about the lost lamb :( Hoping for some ewe lambs :fl

Lemon kidded! Twin bucks. Big boys, 4 & 4.1lbs. They took 4oz of colostrum each right after birth, and took another 4oz each ~2 hours later. They are quite now. Need to milk again in a few hours. Sleeping babies

How costly is the testing? Here, it is very inexpensive. I personally wouldn’t just “assume” anything. But that’s just me. I’d do the testing. Years ago we brought in a doe. Her stool was never never consistent. Sometimes berries other times it was “dog log” and sometimes mild scours. It drove...

Driving me crazy. :barnie She’s getting closer though. Hopefully today will be the day. :fl

Have you had her tested?

:weee

How many roosters do you have? Looks like it is from an overactive rooster.

From a UC Davis newsletter: (Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis is a bacterial organism that causes the disease commonly referred to as Caseous Lymphadenitis or CL.) So it IS possible for kids to have CL. These 1 week old kids had it. Makes me wonder how. How a kids so young could develop...

Honestly, I'd go ahead and blood test the entire herd. Use a GOOD lab. We use UC davis in CA. The CL test is $14.50 per goat. Other labs are not accredited and seem to have a lot of false + and - and can be complete nightmares. Once you get the tests go from there. Is the entire herd positive...
