Tetanus, polio or listeriosis.

He's copying mom and sister...they drink, he tries...they nibble hay/feed, so does he. His poo is turning greenish from tasting the solid feedstuffs. I think you're just fine. A kid that doesn't eat enough or feel well isn't going to be out there being adorable and bucking around. Take a...

Sounds pretty normal to me. Kids with GI problems stand around listless and hunched, they LOOK like they don't feel well. They nurse a LOT, many small meals a day.

I don't REALLY see why not... You can ALSO buy the blue chlorhexadine and use that in lieu of alcohol...we keep that in case of staph derm.

BTW I don't consider that a fever in a kid...kids tend to run a little higher and have a wider variance in temp (regulators aren't in good function for a solid month). If it went into the 104+ range, then I'd say fever, but not mid 103s.

Big container of whatever is on sale + 1/2 cup of alcohol...totally not my idea, but sounded brilliant. The bleach water works great too, but we go through a LOT of paper towels...

Try some Vet Rx in their noses (who knows...might help) and ears (earmites?), and some Sevin or Cylence to rule out lice (I imagine those tickle)...

Does he act like a happy energetic goat kid or is he acting like he doesn't feel well/have much energy? I have seen pale white scours in one of my bottle kids that I bloated (overfed)...his body pushed EVERYTHING out in an ASAP kind of way...meaning the milk wasn't digested at all... So, I ask...

1. I am wondering if I am wasting my time,(and the milk) by milking my doe once daily and then after straining the milk through a coffee filter putting it into freezer bags and freezing it for possible future use for bottle feeding kids...Specifically, if the does reject babies..... I have a...

I can control exactly what goes in...more important to me for the milkers and the bucks. We are working on pasture land for dry does/retired does, but I never plan to pasture my bucks. There are variables with browse that could easily 'mess up' my UC prevention. Our set up (no rotational...

Sure. Location: SW Indiana (also was N GA - nothing really changed other than hay - we fed fescue/orchard hay in GA) Raise: Nubians, Mini-Nubians and Nigerians Purpose: dairy, showing Seasonal changes: nope Browse: dry lot, no browse Hay: alfalfa/orchard/clover mix, home grown Feed...

Here they are... Helmstead Minis FF Stoked (buck) Helmstead Minis FF Flicker (doe)

:weee :celebrate :woot Very tangled, coming out in all direction...BUCK/DOE TWINS! I just had my arm up one of the smallest does we own...LOL...but it was worth it! She's ALWAYS had singles, this is awesome! She's a little confused though haha

Karen...I think you've jinxed me. Dealing with a dystocia now, came in for a few minutes to give the doe and rest and see what she can do on her own before I go all the way in...:/

:( That's awful! :hugs

:pop It's Flicka's turn. Ligs gone, cervix ready...can't feel feet yet so she's gonna drag this one out I guess. I'd like to hope there's 2 this time, but by how big this kid looks as it kicks around in there I think she just has a single...again. Brat!

I want to invite those of you in Southern IN, IL and Northern KY to attend this show and support it! Just got off the phone with the Fair Committee, and they've agreed to add Nigerian Dwarves this year! I should have been a lobbyist...:P
