i got a Nigerian doe in May, she was dried off right before I got her. She was in a pen with a buck but since she was in milk most of the time her previous owner said she never noticed her to come into heat, She said since she is Dried off now she should come back into heat. She has been in a...

I hope my buck breed my two does I had with him :fl hoping for a doeling, he had amazing bloodlines plus he was the sweetest and was a great looking buck.

:weeeI keep Minerals and baking soda down for all my goats, but the bad thing with goats is when they get sick they die quick :(.

They said he no longer has barber pole worms and when I first wormed him it worked, I went ahead last Friday and rewormed everybody with a different wormer and I've been keeping sulmet in the waters and giving them some orally.

Got the lab report back !!! It basically said due to a previous infestation of barber pole worms but there was not barber pole infestation currently? And that there was a very high amount of coccidiosis, so much they couldn't count. So It said the death was from malnutrition and animaia. :( I...

So far I haven't lost no more goats. Still waiting to find out what is going on.

Also would it hurt to give them sulmet?

Is the ivermectin plus Safe for pregnant does? Because two of my does may have been bred early this month around the 4th of July.

No I have chickens,ducks, and geese trust me snails and slugs don't stand a chance since I free range them. And yes I am using red cell. I am in Virginia and we have had a lot of humid hot weather. I've never heard anyone in my area dealing with liver flukes. And My vet is going on vacction but...

It's weird cause none of them have scours which I think is a great thing. But very confusing.

If they are liver flukes use ivermectin plus ? If this womer doesn't work how long so I wait to give them the ivermectin?

Yes I have read about that. I just have to get the pills first.

My last registered doe has pale eyelids now and is starting to look thin. She has always been on the thin side though. I think in the morning I'm going to separate her in to her own pen after I clean my spare pen. I gave her 3cc of red cell, probiotic paste, some high protein feed with her...

Yes the vet got the fecal himself :confused: I think me and my buck felt violated. As soon as my vet got what he needed he started the test. This year has been a very bad year for me. At one point I just wanted to sell all my goats and get out of them :(, in this year i have lost 7 goats. My...

The vet showed us the eggs he found , he let me look at them. And then I pulled up a picture of barber worm eggs and they look the exact same! So idk why my vet didn't tell me what kind they were. But I'm hoping they call me tomorrow and tell me what caused it. They did call today and say he...

We have had fecals done and my vet only found two worm eggs. The lab has blood but they just got in today so it could be a few days before I get answers. We have talked to other vets and a very close friend of mine who has had goats for most of her life and she says it sounds exactly like barber...

I am losing my goats left and right. I took one to get an autopsy but I won't know what is killing them for maybe a few more days but something needs to be done now! We are starting to think it is barber pole worms. We have wormed the goats we ivermec but they say that won't kill barber poles...

ive got a week old baby alpaca from a man because he runs a alpaca farm and can't bottle raise him. What milk replaced can I use for him from the local tractor supply?

I think I want to bottle raise. I bottle raised my first three bottle babies this year.. It was only suppose to be one but I bought another and then one of my friends doe tried to kill one of her kids so I took him :hide . Really I'm only thinking of one that I want to milk which happens to be...

I was wondering how do most breeders take the baby's away from their mom and their method? Like I know most do it shortly after there born and put them on the bottle but I would like to know a couple different methods. I want to Milk my does next spring but I'm not sure about how I should handle it.
