    COCCIDIOSIS! New baby boy is not doing so well

    We got some Ivermectin into him. He has had dimethox once before for 5 days and Corid once before for 5 days as well. We started him on Dimethox yesterday and he got another dose this morning. If he is still bad tomorrow, I will get some Iron or Red Cell, but we already went to TSC tonight and...

    Newbie questions about feeding 8 week old goat babies

    X2 on what Pearce Pastures said, Hay, water, and mineral are good. Depending on their back ground, they may never of had the option of hay or grain or leaves, so they might not want anything to do with them. And like eleven said, same with being dam raised moving to a bottle. Anyway, Probiotics...

    COCCIDIOSIS! New baby boy is not doing so well

    Thank you very much. I was with him for most of the day. My biggest fear was that he would get it too from stressing so much over his brother. He was much better this afternoon and wasn't looking for his brother as much. He drank all of his milk with the probiotics in it too. He has also been...

    COCCIDIOSIS! New baby boy is not doing so well

    He passed away really quick last night. I was reading all this and went to check on him. He was laying on his side and couldn't stand. I brought him in the house and he died around 1:30 this morning. His brother is fine and has no diarrhea. We have looked at a couple stores for the dimethox and...

    COCCIDIOSIS! New baby boy is not doing so well

    I just got two new boys. They are both buckling, even though one is supposed to be a wether. We have only had them for one week and one of them is sick already. I believe he may have coccidiosis. They gave him Corid to prevent it, but I have heard Corid is not very effective. He is due for...

    new to lambs - 2 week old orphan mini sheep help needed?

    This is all good information. I am so happy you brought these two in!!!!! I'm sure they are also happy to have a new 'mom'. You are doing so well with them from what I can see here. They do need the CDT shot if the one is eating dirt especially. You can have free choice hay for the older one now...

    coat quality question

    I might say give her minerals, but you might want to wait for another response first because I don't have a lot of experience with this. Also there is a possibility of worms, but if she seems to be eating okay and such. Also mites and lice are possible as well, but again wait for another...

    Wether butting 6 year old son

    This is good advice. Sorry I didn't realize it was sheep. Smacking him in with a solid hit could put him in his place. Also make sure your son isn't accidently 'fighting back' you or him might not realize, but if he pushes the buck away especially on the head, the buck may think it is turning...

    Wether butting 6 year old son

    How old is the wether? How old is your son? How does your son act with the goats? My only thought is he could either be trying to play or being semi protective if he thinks your son is a 'threat' because of how active he is. Just a thought. I don't know though. How do the girls act with them...
