Okay. Got it! Thank you! And I haven't added alfalfa yet but she stole a few bites and she was loving it way more then she likes the coastal hay which is what she has access too

Okay! Thank you. I'll try stitching her milk, I've just been afraid too because I was worried it would make her worse. And she has access to coastal hay 24/7 but not alfalfa. Should I give her alfalfa 24/7 too?

Hi everyone! I need some help with my little dwarf goat. She is 5 weeks old (was told her birthday was 12-11-2017 and she was one of triplets and mom died, supposedly got colostrum). She had a few incidents of diarrhea in the beginning but then was doing well. We tried to put her in the barn in...

Okay! Thank You! I'll get with my vet and see if he will cut him

He is obsessed with mounting her, and pretty hard core. He also tries to just "push her around." And she's so small when he pushes her it sends her flying. I didn't realize they would try and breed so young so I was wanting to get him banded or castrated but I'm worried about doing him too young...

Okay. Thank you! Do you think we can go ahead and band him? I offered him alfalfa today and he gobbled it up. The little female got out of her pen and he hurt her on accident (she is back in the house now, thank goodness nothing was broken) I took her to the vet today and she got some pain meds...

The female is the one standing on the couch, she followed me inside. And the male is the blonde one, he's a little bigger then that now

Yep! I'll post pics. And she is on a bottle. We are doing manna pro kid milk and 7 ounces three times a day. We had issues with diarrhea at first and a fecal was done at vet and was negative. Her stools have improved a lot and she's very active.

Thank you so much! The little female dwarf is in a playpen in the barn so he cannot get to her but they can still keep each other company. The first time he met her he mounted her so we immediately seperated them. I want to get him castrated or banded asap but was worried about the potential for...

Okay! Thank you! They're gonna be just pets and I need to get the male castrated but that's a work in progress

Awesome! Thank You! It sounds like I need to get some alfalfa for them :)

Hi everyone! I've got a 8 week old male that I'm about to wean. He has been on coastal hay since I got him, is this adequate once he is weaned or do I need to get different hay and if so, do I need to switch him gradually? He is also with a tiny female that is only 4 weeks old and is also being...

Thank you so much everyone! I really appreciate it, I'm so new to this and just want to do what's right for her.

Some days she is very bubbly and active even with the scours but other days she seems lethargic

Okay. Got it. Thank you. Are you thinking I should straight up switch the milk to whole cows milk and not do it gradually? And she devouers the 3 ounces in less then a minute. Always seems hungry but I was told to feed her 3 ounces per 5 pounds, she's only 4.7 pounds but I'm clearly doing this...

Here's the male with donkey shoeing size difference

Thank you! And she would have a buddy once she is well, but concern there is he is older than her by about 4 weeks and when we had them together for the first few days he was being quite mean to her, bullying her, kicking her with his front feet and shoving her away from the hay. He also tried...

Okay! Thank You! I'm still so new to this! I was told she did get colostrum and that they also did colostrum from the feed store in case she didn't get enough from mom before she died. And I'll work on switching her over, I'll start on her next feeding. Thank you so, so much. And we are in...

Hi! I have not checked her temp, I will go get a thermometer for her today and check it. Thank you! You think I should go ahead and try and switch her to the whole cows milk?

Hi everyone. I have a baby goat that is 2 weeks old, from what I was told she was one of triplets and mom died 24 hours after delivering. Since then, the little one has been supplemented with manna pro brand kid milk replacer, she is being fed 3 ounces every 4 hours but not through the night...
