Pretty little babies! Aren't they the sweetest things? Love baby goats! :weee

:hit Guys, Ernie had a fluky reaction to the injection he got this morning. We ran him back to the vet and they couldn't do anything to save him. It wasn't an allergic reaction. They think what happened was where the injection went in it got inflamed very quickly and put pressure on the vagal...

I think it's like most women in the throws of childbirth, all modesty and caring who's around can go out the door! Of course that isn't every case, but more often than not. Probably depends some on the goat and if it's her first time around the block with kidding or not. Lots of variables...

Yes it is awesome that someone was able to see something I would not have had any idea to notice! I think it's just great to have such a valuable resource available to all goat lovers! People helping people helping their animals! I can't do this without you guys, and I wouldn't want to! BYH...

Yeah, our area is low in selenium, from checking on the map that shows the mineral counts. They are good now, and that's what the vet thought was the problem. Thanks for the concern.

Okay, like any mother, I worried about the babies all night and promptly took them to the vet this morning. They do have a little bit of a selenium deficiency and so does Ginger. The vet checked them all out and gave each of them a shot of selenium with some extra antibiotic for Ginger for...

Just gorgeous little girls! They are so sweet! :hugs

I'm planning on calling our vet this morning and asking them what I should do. Hate to drag those little babies into the vet, because it also means I've got to take Ginger, too, because she won't stand for us to take them without her, and I know that for sure. She needs to be looked at too...

Hum.... Since these are my first goats I wouldn't know what I'm looking at. What would you do? I don't think Ginger was getting any extra minerals in her diet until I got her, which was about 6 weeks ago. Our area is deficient in selenium. Not sure if the loose minerals has enough in it or...

OMG, that baby has the exact same markings as our Ernie, also a pygmy goat, born yesterday! Same white belly band, spot on the top of the head and white ears! Crazy! Congratulations on your new little one! He's (she's) adorable!

:rant

Could be, but maybe not and just passing her plug. Although her behavior sounds like it has changed with the screaming. Have you felt her ligaments to see if they are soft? I wish you luck! We are waiting on pictures when they're born! :welcome :caf :pop

Drives you crazy doesn't it? I though Ginger would never kid. So thankful it's finally happened and now I can plan for my next bunch of kids! LOL! SIL just came over and saw them for the first time and he fell in love with both of the babies. His words were "super cute!" He took pictures to...

I've read some studies about DE and it doesn't work on internal parasites for larger animals, but works pretty well on chickens for external parasites. The studies did show that it works well to control fly populations. I have the flour grade, edible DE and sprinkle it in my chicken coop and...

Here are some more pictures of the babies. They are nursing well, because they have the customary gold poop from the coloestrum today. Bruce says that only I would think that baby goats have "gold" poop! LOL! Sadly, he's right! This one is Ernie: This one is Edna:

Okay, now that they are modeling high-couture goat clothing you're gonna have to build a permanent runway for them and schedule seasonal showings for everyone to come and view the upcoming fashions! :lau That was wonderful of her to make you such cute goat coats. I think a kid would be a...

Such great markings! She's really cute!

Here are more pictures, just later in the morning, after they found the teat! Sorry they aren't the greatest, but they're better than nothing, right! LOL!

Okay, I can breathe a sigh of relief, because when I went out just a few minutes ago the babies had finally located the teats and were nursing and Ginger was trying to consume the afterbirth, which she finally passed. I took it away from her and gave her some dried apples instead. She gobbled...

Man, they look like lots of fun! They are the cutest darn things I've ever seen! Like the Lamancha goats! Wonder what a cross between a Lamancha and a pygmy would look like? LOL! Just had first 2 babies today and already looking for more! I'm hopeless! :th
