    She isn't a pasture goat. We give her grain and her hay. They both get like a cup of grain a daym Every now and then we will stick her out in the field to eat up some grass , but it's not often and obviously not lately.. They have the run of the whole barn. And then the outside part of it.

    Her body condition is not great. Thin and very boney. We have a neighbor who is a goat farmer and she noticed last year sometime and made the comment that her neck and hips have been shrinking up. She's been healthy but over the past year she has really thinned out. She has never finished her...

    Just from what the vet had said. I guess she thought maybe it's a possibility. That's why they r running another blood test on her. That it normally happens in cows , but it's not unheard of of goats to get it. do you thinkher symptoms and how she is now is not related to that? I've never even...

    I'm not sure if she said how bad it was. She said it concerned her bc she didn't know if she was doing this bc she was going into heart failure or if she had the worms back. But then after the test, we found out she did , which we don't think we ever got fully rid of them the first time around...
