Yes they are ND’s.
I hope so; I just can’t separate them, but also don’t want the city breathing down my neck and putting all the others in jeopardy. Our breeder has stated that if it does become an issue we can return but I can’t do that either once in my possession lol. I will sound proof...

Momma is feeding sis finally without any issues. She is getting stronger by the day. So finger’s crossed she keeps improving. And brother is still her right hand man!
I have always got wethers as the goat of choice. We always were open; however it seemed the doelings were...
Sorry for the delayed thread on the outcome of our situation. It was quite the blow to our heard and family. Whiskey the G.O.A.T. passed On December 28th. It’s a long read however interesting and just proves, life is short and how awesome and strong willed goats are.
After calls to every vet...
Thank you! and definitely will share what I find Out.
he did get up and pee; so hopefully we are starting to head a good direction. Hasn't went since, but at least he won’t have a super full bladder.
thank you again and talk soon!
i Started a dose of penicillin last night and then one this morning (all I had on hand) will be doing another shortly. I checked the cameras yesterday and he ate at noon; then about two starting laying around; and at six last night went to the spot on his bed where I found him at 7:15pm. He was...
I am kinda of lost what to do currently. I have 3 goats that are pets. One of them, Whiskey; 27 months old had what I believe is a respiratory issue. Yesterday i thought it was maybe a rumen issue. However he has developed a wheeze overnight and has a hard time walking or standing for to long...
It appears to be healing pretty good. One of them is already covered over. The other side still has a soft spot, but it doesn’t seem to bother him. He head butted me for the first time the other night since his removal and he just looked up at me. I don’t think it felt very good for him. I...
So the dehorned saga is over. Took him to the vet Monday and they sent me home with pain meds and i gave him penicillin this past week. By Wednesday he was feeling pretty good; back to causing hate and discontent. Alaskan; thank you for the support and advice. Being new to the goat life it was...
Day 3
He has been pretty low key. Isn't drinking as much as i would like to see. He has a clear liquid coming from the area where the horns were. Looks like drainage; however he trys to wipe it off and his ears are down. I try to dab it with a paper towel and he comes unglued. He is grinding...
He is doing fine today. He is still eating and kinda rummaging around not doing to much though. Lots of naps. Attached is a pic of his brothers giving him kisses when he came home from surgery :)
Good evening,
My 8 month old had his horns removed by the vet today. All went well, however i noticed this evening that he is grinding his teeth and a little heavier breathing. I am assuming that the meds they gave him at the vet are wearing/worn off. Is there something i can give him for...
I have three nigerian dwarfs that are pets/companion and yes, silly as all get out. I live on the Oregon coast and we also grow apples, blackberrys, plums and every other year; peaches. This time of year we are quite damp and as we know goats don't like rain So they pretty much live in the barn...
Looking forward to this forum. Very new to the goat life, however I'm loving it. 30+ years in law enforcement and there is no better therapy i have found than these guys.
