Hi all! I have a 4 week old purebred Nubian doeling. When she was born, she was a little smaller than her sister, but thrived despite it. Has always been a little dirty in the behind area, but playful and has grown at the same rate as her sister. Last Wed, I noticed the doe's milk was drying...
Hi guys! Just an update. So, the doe that was paralyzed was euthanized on Tuesday. I took her to an animal diagnostic lab for necropsy. Yesterday, I found out that there were no intestinal parasties and nothing obvious on the initial exam. They sent off samples of her brain, spinal cord...
well, doe #2 is hanging in there, still down in the rear but bright alert, eating/drinking. doe #3 that had a slight amount of bottle jaw on Saturday got treated with Ivermectin (I doubled the dose, gave her 2mls/100lbs) and she was dead Monday morning. No wasting away on that. Im very over...

OK, i went ahead and uploaded pictures

I bet you are tired! Im tired from trying to take all that in! LOL. :D
So, as I said before, my does were triplet does. Just before they came home, right at weaning, they all got sick with what the breeder believed was barber pole worms. Im not sur exactly what the protocol was for...
