But I've never had a goat bleed when they are in heat.

I have a 4 year old doe who is bleeding from her vulva. It's similar to a woman's period. She is wagging her tail and blood is getting all over her back end. We have no boys in with her. She was supposed to be bred in October but she would have been due March 24, so we don't think she took. She...

Thanks guys, these are questions for my friend's goats with a barberpole problem.

I would still buy the chlorhexadine wash to get rid of any bad staph bacteria. You can buy Hibiclens at any drug store (CVS, Rite Aid, etc)

Great, I'm glad you found a better solution! Good luck with disbudding- it's one of my least favorite parts about raising goats.

That's crazy expensive! I go to someone who does it for $10 a goat!

Good advice! And good luck with treating it!

That's what I thought. Just double-checking. I have read about it causing internal bleeding when given orally. What are your thoughts about this?

Interesting! Is Cydectin effective against barberpole worms?

Thank you!

Is it 1cc per 25 lbs? Orally or injection?

Thanks :)

Smokey the belt eater!

Baby Percy Baby Pluto

Two boys born on March 26 and 27! One at 11:55 pm, the other at 12:03 am. They are from Sassy. It turns out Razz isn't pregos- just fat :/ The black one is Pluto, and the brown is Percy (short for Perseus). Since they were born at midnight, I went with a planet and constellation name.

This little guy is going to be our new herd sire for all my does except his momma. We'll keep him in a separate pasture and bring the does to him, since he is related to one.

Could be a staph infection. Wash with Hibiclens Chlorhexidine Gluconate 4.0% twice daily. Apply Blue Kote Spray afterwards. This has happened to my goats and this is what heals it up.

I was also thinking maybe CAE. I had a friend whose goat had lumps in her udder from internal CL (even CAE negative) so that's why I mentioned it first.
