Thank you all for you replies! I am positive that she is not bred. Every summer Libby produces a little milk. Vet said that it is hormones. But this year it is much bigger and the teats are extremely large. Four years ago I stopped milking my herd and just keep them happy.

I have a 4 year old doe that has never been bred and her udder is starting to fill. The doe's teats are starting to enlarge and the udder is much larger than normal. What should I do? One vet said that I should milk her and another vet said to let her alone so she can dry up naturally. Has...

Thank you ALL! With the weather starting to warm up, I plan to spend time with the goats and observe Annabelle. See what I can see.

I have watched her pee and I see no real issue. Sometimes she just pees a small amount. I never see urine spraying on her legs. Her skin of the inner thighs are a little raw. Vet said to apply vasoline twice a day. As for feeding she gets 1/4 cup grain twice a day and plenty of good grass...

Annabelle is a 6 year old goat. She never has been bred. This winter I noticed stain on her back legs and around her tail. Thought it might fecal stains caused by heavy worm load. So I dewormed her. The stain got worse. Her stool looked ok. I finally called a vet. She said the stain is from...

Thank you for your reply, can you advise dosage of Toltrazuril? How old are the kids when you first administer and for how long do you repeat the every two week regimen? I've seen that this can be purchased from a site in Canada; is that where you get yours from?

I would like some ideas on how to handle prevention of coccidiosis in kids. Currently, I have two 3 week old Saanen kids who are healthy. One vet told us to do nothing so the goats are able to develop an immunity and one vet said to feed Corrid Crumbles mixed with their feed to our entire herd...

Last night I noticed Kit (preg. 2yr old) had some bleeding around the left front knee pad. I grabbed some antibiotic cream. When I started to put it on the whole pad round back. It is only attached by a thread of skin. I applied the antibiotic and put her back in the stall. This morning I...

Had the vet out. He gave her 8cc of Penicillin. He said it is not respiratory or mastitis, but no sure of the type of infection. I am to give 8cc pen tomorrow morning. I am trying to get her to eat and drink. I will keep her on the probiotics. Any suggestions will be welcome. Thanks

what antibiotics should I get? I see no signs of respiratory infection. But her temp is usually around 102.

This morning when I put Kit on the stand I noticed that her udder was not full. Last night I milk her full udder and she gave 1.5 quarts. This morning I milked about .75 quarts and she did not eat all her grain. When I put her back in the stall she did not look right. After milking I went...

The vet told me to give 3 cc of penicillin 1 X day for 4 days. How long will it take to get the abscess to soften?

Just read your post. With tears in my eyes I am writing this post. I feel you pain. I am truly sorry!!

The vet said that I was lucky to have a goat. Said she could have been hung. He was not too concerned about the swelling. Said that as long as the doeling is eating and active that the swolling would go down. That was on July 9. I recalled the vet on the 12 about the swelling and the fact...

I have a call in to the vet. Thanks

On July 9th, I feed my doeling (4 month) her grain while I was milking. After milking I noticed a little grain left; thought nothing of it. When I left all the goats out, she run to her mother and started to nurse. Everything seemed normal. After I got my breakfast I return to the barn to...

Got the stool sample results. Worms and Coccidiosis. The vet had me start the kid on Corid 1 cc per day for 14 days. pepto 10 cc morning and evening for 3 days. Probiotics morning and evening for the 14 days. Give her wormer today and repeat weekly for 3 weeks. I am to keep her on the doe...

Thank you for your help. I have a stool sample for the vet. Her temp has come down a little. Her bottom stayed clean last night. The vet had me put her with the mother and only let her drink some milk- a couple minutes. I started her on pepto. Kept her on probiotics and electrolytes. We...

The kid is not a bottle baby. I have had her off the doe since 9:00 pm yesterday. She is eating some (very little) hay. She drinks a little electo-solution. Her temp was 104.8 last night and it was down to 103.7 F at 2:00 pm today. Is there anyone out there that can help! I called the vet...
