Good point I never thought about the corrid.... I do still kind of think it was a gut blockage, as when I was disposing of the guts I noticed that it was awfully bloated with poop, if that every happens again is there anything you can do? I've heard of tubing mineral oil

The vets around here aren't goat savy at all. We sent a necropsy or two in before and didn't get back anything helpful and it cost an arm and a leg. Immediately after I posted I decided to go ahead and gut her. I put the guts in a bag and, being that she hadn't died of sickness and was fresh I...

yesterday I noticed a kid pretty down and out so I separated her out gave her copper Bolus and some corrid thinking it was a little coccidiosis or something. Today my mom called me to tell me that she was thrashing around and screaming so I rushed home and by the time I got there she was dead. I...

I put my game camera out to see if it would come back and it's a huge bobcat

we have a predator that likes to drag its victims head through the bars, eat the head off and then leave. We heard a commotion out by the goose pen and went out to find our female sebastopal with her head pulled through and the skin ripped off the back of her head, so it must of grabbed her at...

That thing she is laying on is not a bed but a hay feeder..... Why as a fairly seasoned goat keeper I did not think to attach it better and add supports is a mystery.... Why we like them just the same no matter how much naughtiness they commit is a mystery also

I'll maybe try cows milk. I brought home a kid today and none of my does have freshened yet so goats milks not an option quite yet.

normally we get ultra 24 multi species milk replacer for our goat kids but it's anywhere from 28-40 dollars for an 8 pound bag depending on where we can buy it from which is expensive. This year wer going to be having a lot more kids then normal to bottle raise and I was wondering what some...

Any thoughts on that? Haha

We've considered them a couple times but I know from the sources we looked at they were kind of expensive to order monthly for us. We might this summer

Listerine? He's not doing any worse, I think the water and electrolytes we've been giving him perked him up somewhat. I'm gonna give him some duramycin today. A couple months ago we had a bird bring in some mites and he was the only bird on the property we couldn't catch to dust, so when I...

Tomorrow stores should be open again so hopefully I'll be able to get some antibiotics (if I have time I have a funeral most of the day). I tried picking the puss out with tweezers, I got some out but the flesh underneath is still to swollen for him to shut his mouth

Probably not hydrogen peroxide because if he swallows it it might be bad. I know you give it to a dog to make it throw up because it expands in the stomach, wouldn't it maybe blow a birds stomach up because they can't throw up?

There's no visible wound it's just one big growth of smelly dead flesh, so would I just apply some to the surface? Also whatever I give him is going in his mouth so he has to be able to ingest it.

Here's some images of it

our peacock was looking Down and out the last few days and scratching at his face so I caught him and looked in his mouth. He has a huge infected dying flesh growth that smells on the roof of his mouth. I think it goes up through his sinus and the whole side of his face is swollen. I believe he...

Ok thank you!

We've had rabbits for years and years and after years and years of cleaning out icky smelly Magot ridden trays we decided to make the switch to earth worm beds! I got ahead of myself and made all of the plans for the new cages and bought all of the lumber and wire and stuff, before I got all of...
