    goat sickness

    Your friend got a deal! I can almost understand the breeder not wanting to deal with the pinkeye...since it is so contagious and time consuming. I wish someone could tell me how long this will go on. Jack seems to be at a standstill. The cloudiness will not budge. We are at about the two...

    goat sickness

    We recently adopted a male goat, Jack. After only a week he was vomiting badly. We used a home remedy and were able to stop the vomiting. Now he has what appears to be pinkeye. Both eyes are weeping badly and are clouded over to the point where he cannot see at all out of the one eye...
