I realise this. Thank you

Evening all. It has been quite a long time since I was last on this group... so I was asked to fetch a young goat kid 2 weeks ago as she would not get up and the farmer did not have time to deal with her. Got her to my house and realised she had joint ill/navel ill. She was 2 weeks old. Got hold...

Between the 1st and 5th November...

Hi all. A question... as i am a little clueless when it comes to goats. We have a goat that was in kid. She was scanned by our vet and it was confirmed. Is it possible for a goat to carry twins and abort one... the reason I am asking is she had blood on her tail and was very agitated. I have...

She is a beaut... I have 1 left to lamb. Am hoping for a boy or two... I only have 6 ewes at the moment and so far I have 5 girls and 1 boy...

Babies!!!

Morning everyone. OK the diarrhea lasted 24 hours and is over. I will deworm all the sheep in the next day or so just to be 100% certain. They were done a month ago but we have had hot and wet weather this side. Will send some pics of some of the babies.. had a beaut born yesterday

Hi all... me again. OK 2 questions... so 4 of my 6 ewes have given birth. The two that are left were brought in this evening but walked straight past their feed... I thought they were acting a little strange so just went out now to check on them and their is diarrhea everywhere. The other sheep...

OK an update on the little one.. she seemed to be improving and standing for longer periods of time without support. Still can't walk without support as she has very poor balance... seems to have taken a turn for the worse... she had a bout of scours that I managed to sort out... I think it was...

She is a sweetie... mom and babe

I am just so grateful for all the people on this group and the advice and time that is given freely. I was prepared for the worst and that lamb just shot out of her mom with almost no strain on mom's side... just so glad it is over...

OK not to worry after birth has just passed...

We have a baby... momma did very well. No prolapse during the birth. I think I was really lucky as I was all on my own at 2am this morning when she decided to have her little girl.. one question though... after she finished giving birth and all looked fine I moved them into a stall as we have a...

The vet recommended finadyne for pain and inflamation. I put a dog harness on her and stand her up between my legs for her to take her bottle she can bend her legs but the back legs are a lot stiffer than the front. She walks with me on the harness but only when forced to. She loves handling and...

Thank you.. she is currently only drinking milk... not eating any solids or drinking water as she can't get to it..

OK so let me start right at the beginning regarding this calf... the owner was not aware his cow had calved as his cows roam all over the roads and beaches here and the cow calved on the banks of one of our lagoons. She abandoned the calf. When the calf was found by the owner she was in shock...

OK still no lamb. The vet was here Friday to vaccinate my horse and scan a few sheep. He scanned my little girl and picked up movement from the baby but it took a long time before he did... he also did an internal to check that there was no smell... so now it's again a waiting game... I'm going...

Hi all. Ok a quick update.. my other 2 ewes are looking better so not too worried about them... Little Guy (that's her name) still not lambed but this is what her back end looks like... totally different to 10 days ago

Hi all. So it looks like my ewes time is very soon. Teats have swollen up and are no longer as long as before and her valva is very swollen. She is also not eating so watching her very closely... but to top all this stress off I now have 2 ewes that are not well...I will keep you all posted on...
