I know this topic is posted quite a bit, but I couldn't find anything specific to my goats...so here goes and thank you in advance for your help! I have two wethered male fainting goats that are almost 6 months old. They had a nice green area to browse with a lot of variety throughout the...

I am new to the site and very impressed with how it seems to be run! Great job and can't wait to get to know everyone better.

Thanks! And what size syringe and needles should I have on hand? These are two small fainting goats.

As a new goat owner, I have been following this post closely. I am so sorry to hear that you lost your goat....so sad. I have been making a list of things that you have suggested to have on hand, which has been really really helpful. Thank you all for sharing your expertise. Just to clarify...

I was wondering if he is eating too fast...would that lead to the coughing and other noise? I will take his temp and monitor...thanks! No runny nose or anything, so that's good. It is scary when they are your first ones!

I have two 11 week old Fainting Goats. They are both males and wethered. They are our first goats so we are figuring everything out! They are twins, and acting great. Eating well, playing, curious, etc. One of them, the past couple of days, seems to cough a little occasionally while eating...
