Cy didn't end up making it. The vet said he was extremely anemic which he attributed to both thiamine deficiency and worm-overload. He thought that if we continued to give him vitamins and minerals he'd slowly get his strength back, but I think he was just too far gone. Maybe if the vet had...
Yes. I mixed the medicine into the water and sweetened it as per the vet's suggestion. They've been off the medicine since Wednesday, but since he was showing no signs of improvement I gave only him a dose yesterday morning and this morning. We have not done a fecal. The vet is unable to come...
We brought my sweet little Cypress home about a month and a half ago. He seemed to be one of the healthiest in my herd until about a week ago. I was struggling with worms and coccidia in my two little doelings, but Cypress seemed fit as a fiddle. I had the vet come out and he gave me some corid...
@Goatgirl47, the breeder told me right away when he returned her that he never saw her come in to heat, so I'm quite sure she isn't pregnant. There are certainly no signs of it I can see. I'll still be watching to be on the safe side, but I'm thinking we're going. To have to wait until next...

Does anyone have a good natural fix for fleas on young goats? Maggie and June are about three months old now and covered with fleas. I have a can of Y•Tex Python Dust, but after reading the back I grew a little concerned about dusting actual poison all over my babies! They are pretty miserable...
I might have just committed to purchasing the prettiest nubian buckling I've ever seen! He'll be coming home in about three or four weeks. I am hoping to visit him again this weekend and snap a picture. :weee
I saw your profile picture while browsing one of the forums. It made me laugh so hard! You look you have quite the character on your hands with that goat! Hope you have a good day. :)
