She was never dried off because I never knew she was pregnant. He is only 4 days old. I will try the soapy water enema. Thank you.

I wanted to take him to the vet today but the only vet that sees goats is not in today. I was just going to take the fecal in today. I haven't checked his temp yet. He is still eating. And yes he was born from the doe that I had been milking throughout her pregnancy :(. A friend of mine that...

I forgot to mention that the poop does not have any smell to it.

Yesterday I noticed his bottom had poop stuck to it. His poop was a bit runny and yellow, seemed to be a little blood tinged. I cleaned him off and this morning this is what he had on his butt. I found this poop on the ground. He is being raised by the mom. I also noticed that his mom has...

Sorry, got another question. My momma goat had nice pink eyelids throughout her pregnancy but is starting to look a little pale today. Is it ok to deworm her or should I wait a little? And when can I deworm the baby or do I need to do a fecal first? The Ivesco Goat Dewormer Concentrate says it...

Thank you. This was very helpful!! This is exactly what I was looking for! :weee :celebrate

I have Ivomec and Ivesco goat dewormer concentrate. I'm not sure if they are the same medication or different. Don't have them on hand right now. I did order some syringes and needles from Jefferlivestock.com seemed to be cheapest bout .22 cents each rather than $1 each @ the feed store! I'm...

Sorry if I am posting a question that has already been asked. I've been trying to look up info and am a little confused. I am new to goats, just got my Nubians in March. Had a newborn buck this past Sunday 6-26-11 (unexpectedly!) The only thing I have on hand right now is the CD/T vaccine (not...

I bought momma when she was 2 months pregnant I guess! My poor baby was giving me good milk throughout her whole pregnancy! I'm definitely gonna give her time off before breeding her again. I will breed her daughter Rosie instead of her but not til the end of this year in November she turns a...

I bought my does in March. They told me they are Nubians. I've been searching to buy a Nubian buck to breed but the ones I have seen for sale have horns? What kind of Nubians don't have horns? Maybe the ones with horns are mix? Or mine are mixed breed? I don't want horns cause I don't want to...

Thanks for starting this thread!! This is exactly what I was looking for! :D I currently have 2 pit bulls, 2 Chihuahuas (soon to be more! Female pregnant!), 3 Nubians, 5 Chikens, 1 white fronted amazon, 3 cockatiels. One of my pit bulls has cancer and I will have to put her down tomorrow :( So I...

Mine love apples, carrots, (strawberries not so much), I've also heard about giving them apple treats that are for horses? But when I give mine vegetables, I have to cut them up into bite size pieces cause once it falls on the floor, they won't even touch it!

Thank you!! Will try to post pics soon! :D

Thanks a lot for that info Elevan! I will pick some up later today. She is a good mom and gave me good milk throughout her pregnancy. Wish I would have known, I would of given her a rest! Beautiful kid though. Can't wait til I can post pics :D

She seems fine now. She is just tired. The baby is fine and finally got the hang of getting the teet himself! The mom doesn't seem to be in distress or anything. She is just really tired. So I guess I have more time now to relax and read up on all the info I need to take care of him...

oh ok. thank you! well, is there anything I should do with the baby right now? I keep checking on him and she seems like she is gonna have another one cause she is moaning and sometimes scratches at the ground like she did before he came out. But only mucus like stuff is coming out?? Is that...

I went out to milk my Nubian I noticed she was just laying in her barn while her 7 month old "Rosie" was calling for me. I noticed a "ball of water" coming out of her rear! I've never had any animals give birth in person before so I wasn't sure what it was. lol So, about a half an hour later or...

Phew! I was worried about that too! (Getting worms from a wormy goat) Thanks! I am interested in learning how to make soap. I bought some lye a few months back. I just haven't bought the rest of the stuff I need. Now that I have my goat milk, I definitely want to learn! And the ice cube tray...

Thanks a lot! :D I've been trying to find something on this question and wasn't able to find anything. Thanks for the reply! Cindy

This is my first time owning goats. I am still learning and was wondering...How long do I have to wait before I can drink my goat's milk after de-worming? I gave her Ivomec on Monday. She is not nursing her baby anymore. I have been tossing her milk since then. When should it be good enough to...
