    Eye Coloration (not sure if this is under the right forum)

    I know it can make your head spin..but... There is no 'recessive' in blue eyed goats. They can be heterozygous (ie have ONE copy) or homozygous (ie have 2 copies) but BOTH will result in the goat having blue eyes (it's dominant). Sooo If your goat is brown eyed...it does not have the gene...

    Will they eat themselves to death?

    3 week buckling has white mucous discharge?

    AND - Bactrim is the same thing as SMZ-TMP, which is the veterinary product most of us are familiar with ;) Sorry, I am not sure what that could be. There was a recent thread about a doe that had been with a buck for a couple hours, which explained her discharge :sick - but I just have no idea...
