I have made the decision to pull both kids off of Dotti. They will be 5 weeks old in two days. I feel like I have become crazy goat lady over the last couple months. Dotti has had teeth marks above her teats were it joins with the udder. I have been treating it with peppermint oil and Vitamin E...

Ok, I believe we are on the uphill again. Brawn has gained 2 1/2 pounds this week and coco gained 4. It has been a challenging week with Brawn on the bottle supplementing. He would only take an ounce or two up to 3-4 times a day. I give him the bottle and afterward I put him on Dotti to finish...

Thank you @B&B Happy goats.

So sorry Baymule.

So, Dotti FF in mid November, some of you are aware of the long story. I pulled Coco a brown doeling and Brawn a white buckling. They will be a month in two days. By almost two weeks old, I realized Coco was knocking Brawn off the teat. So for the last couple of weeks, I go out and put one on...

Good information! I almost started supplementing them but I turned to Google. I watch Brawn’s behavior and energy level. He is not gaining like Coco but he seems content and is all over the place jumping and climbing. I hold her udder 3 times a day to make sure he is getting his feel. Then I...

Hi all, Well Ridgetop: I love taking their pictures so here is where we are. They will be two weeks on Wednesday in two days. Dotti did not get a full bag till about 8 days after labor. She went from a pint or two to at least maybe half a gallon of milk or so. I was a little concerned with...

Thank you so much! Will do. Have a good evening to both of you.

She has two teats and the kids seem fine. They are on her a lot. I went and got goat milk replacer and the buckling took a good ounce, the doeling didn’t. I noticed she has a full belly but the buckling didn’t so maybe that is why he drank. I will keep an eye on them. I will get a picture...

Hi, yes her teat was plugged but I got it fixed. She still has not filled up tight with milk. Still has like two pints of milk. When it comes in late, how late are we talking about. I see all these pics of other people’s goats udders and they look like they have about a gallon and a half.

Ok so I noticed today an issue with Dotti milk. She has milk but still a pint or two and cannot get it out of her teats. I gave the kids about 2 ounce a piece of warmed cows milk. I massage and applied warm compress. Any suggestions on what I can give her to make her blow up with milk? It’s been...

Sounds great. Let’s stay in touch!

I am so sorry to hear that. We never really know what the outcome can be. Dotti and the kids are doing great. The white buckling is named Brawn and the brown doeling is Coco cause she looks like a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallow on top. Lol. I am so proud ofDotti and how attentive she is...

Thank you!

No, I do not think so. She goes in heat about every 3 weeks and the bucks go nuts. They never went nuts with Dotti at all so I knew she was pregnant. Jolie was born Feb 1st so I was off on her months. She is 9 months old not 7 months old.

Dotti kidded two beautiful goat kids. Brown one is doeling and white one is buckling. After 6 hours of long labor I went in and untangled them. The whole process started at 3:30pm yesterday (after 15 minutes posting the prekidding string, discussion moved to - Forum: Emergency - Goat Labor), I...
