We've had the most luck with standard baby bottles with fast flow nipples or regular nipples with the hole enlarged. It will take the kid some time to accept a bottle, but if they had been bottle feeding him already, try to contact them to see what they were using. I'm not a fan of the...

Are you looking for NDs or Pymgys? Just does/doelings? I can keep an eye out for some for you.

x2. Try to give us a list of symptoms so we can recommend treatment.

Banding is a personal decision, but it seems like a really painful and drawn-out process to me. What are the chances of getting them removed by the vet surgurically?

If you want an instant start, get an older doe in milk or due to kid. That way you can have a goat to "experiment" with before investing in more. However, kids are generally less expensive to buy than an older doe. You'll need to factor in your time and cost of bottle feeding, as well as care...

We planted 2 Bing Cherry and 2 Pink Lady Apple trees yesterday. We planted a Black Tartartain Cherry tree last weekend. I have 6 more Apple trees to find a place for soon - 2 Red Delicious, 2 Yellow Delicious, 2 Granny Smith. If I don't have enough space, I'll see if our neighbor would like a...

Agreed!!! I would want to keep them all.

She's getting Thiamine. Thiamine is Vitamin B1, but is listed as Thiamine on the Vitamin B Complex she is getting. There is 100 mg per dose, so I gave 5 mLs for the first dose yesterday, 3 mLs last night, and 3 mLs this morning. I can see some improvement, but I didn't have much time to really...

We started the Pen G and Vit B injectable at 1:30 today. I also put a bell on DM so Penny could hear where she's at easier. She doesn't have a temp, so it just may be Polio. What are the chances of this being the problem all along? She 15 days old.

Introducing Vend-a-Goat!

So Penny has a new symptom: walking in circles. That's one of the symptoms that I could find that point to Listeriosis ("circling disease"), which I guess she could have picked up when she was flopping around on the ground as a newborn. I haven't taken a temp yet, but I can get them in a little...

Still the same. Still appearing to not see. :/

After observation of Penny over the past few days, I think she's blind. It appears that she cannot see, but goes by sound. I will call or her mama will call and she will go towards the sound. When she goes to nurse, she misses and has to root for the nipple. It takes her a while to find a teat...

Saturday we started our garden for this year. We ordered all of our seeds from Sandhill this time and they sent everything we ordered with no substitutions plus 2 freebie packs of seeds. We have a 4x8 and 4x4 bed of green arrow peas, 4x4 bed of assorted lettuce, and a 4x84x8 of half assorted...

Are you milking the mother at all? If you do not, her body will not "know" to produce more milk.

Penny (Drama Mama's Doeling) 11 days old: Bunny's Doelings 2 days old:

I'm so embarrassed, y'all. I had been posting updates via cell phone because I couldn't get my internet on the computer up for the past 3 days. We had been having issues with outages with our internet, so I didn't think much of it. I had hubby call the internet provider and they cut off our...

Bunnys kids are also 1x1. I can only retain one of the girls so two will be available when I make my decision. Also, I will get updated pictures Saturday weather permitting.

Crack the pelvis? :ep We wait until 18 months or 80 pounds to breed. Does can breed for the first time any year you want them to start.

I also checked Penny's teat structure this morning and she's 1x1. Yay! DM and Bunny hav 2 funtional teats and 2 smaller non-functional teats. I'll check Bunny's doeling's teats later.
