I have my vet handle it. Then I have a certified copy of it being done if ever needed.

:hugs Im sorry Emily. Poor girl. Take care!

Thanks everyone we just love her and Thanks Roll. I know she definatley does not have heartworm. Thankfully. I just want to continue the preventative medicine and I also have ivermectin on hand and just did'nt know the dose!! Appreciate it. I did also hear that it will kill a collie breed...

I have a question about heartworm preventive. I know alot of you have LGD's, do you buy the heartworm medicine at the vets or do you dose with Ivermectin and Pyrantel you may have at the farm. I have ivermectin and pyrantel can be purchased at Jeffers for $10 a bottle. I know the reg...

I would have to agree to chat with the vet before aborting them. I never had to abort...but I too have read some horror stories and was not thrilled about the thought of ever having to do that. Goats have an amazing way of bouncing back quickly from poor nutrition. I think they may suprise...

Sorry for your loss. :( Hope Sasha does well for you!! :fl I dont trust seasons either...Its never worth the risk to me. My thoughts on dairy breeds are that when the bucks go into rutt...you definatley have the best shot at getting the does breed...but it can always happen anytime of the...

Great news!!! :clap Congrats!!!

Why do you have a baby monitor in the barn??? Do you have any pregnant??? Mine will do that to get fly's off them during fly season. They may have ear mites??? But usually they will be scratching too when they have mites...and you would see some junk in their ears...it would most likely be...

Perfect!! I totally agreee...thats how you deal with tapeworm. And your right..they are they only worms you can see in the berries!!

Good for you guys for taking her in!! Everyone has given great advice. I would advise you to try to spend sometime with her if you can. That way you can get to know her. I would'nt walk up to her and expect her to be your best friend right away. Take a lawn chair in and read a book or just...

For a snack I always give raisins...they love em...mine would jump thru a hoop for a handful of raisins. I dont smack my goats. Not to say sometimes some of them really deserve one!!! :lau I move them away from what thier chewing or nipping or jumping on and put my hand over their face to...

Oh boy! Hope the rest of the week gets better!! :gig Glad you were able to get them out!

Im sorry...I didnt realize she was a doe. Opps! You can try to clip...but I have to say they are pretty hard. I recomend a bone saw. Definately put her in a stanchion or find a way to restrain her head from moving...important. It looks kinda small...which is great. But those horn cells are...

2x I wouldnt buy them either...and I would tell him straight out why as well. And tell him baby goats dont hide..and he better start looking for a dead kid. What a jerk. HOW BOUT A KIDDING STAHL to keep them safe!!! That momma will be pregant again around all those bucks soon enough!!! :hit...

I have scurs on my buck and I have to cut them about every two months. NOT FUN. If you have a good vet who is familar with scurs and disbudding I would call them for help. Scurring is not uncommon and NOT FUN to deal with! If he is young I would get it redone. I would not try to twist and...

I agree...its not normal...I would keep a close eye on that as well. I would watch her for a while..and see whats shes doing. If it is itchy and shes chewing on it that would concern me a bit??? I would get a temp on her too..to make sure nothings brewing in her. You dont want infection to...

Love the beard too!! Very cute goaties!! :) Lice are not usually a problem in the summer months. They dont really surrive hot temps. I always found for me, it was a winter issue. But I have found a few patches of hair losening and missing hair on one of my goats from fly bites cuz she rubbed...

Im sooo sorry you lost them. :hugs

Congrats!! Very cute babies. :) Are you bottle feeding them??? I dont recomend wethering them til they are at least 11-12 wks either. And for Urinary Calculi protection you should get a grain that has Amonium Chloride in it. Very Very important for bucklings and bucks. If you are keeping...

Not all will present fever. So dont disregard pneumonia just cuz there is no fever. Green snot and cough is most likely pneumonia. And as stated by another can cause alot of damage and death in the herd. The Nuflor I recomended you will have to get from a vet. Baytril dos'nt work well...
