Just noticed all my typos. That's what I get for using my phone to post. I will try to post a pic of the buck tomorrow.

Things are good here. Another doe of mind had 3 beautiful snow white kids last week. 2 doelings and a buckling. No boers here unless there was one in the loose. She has a white smear above her nose. She looks like she fell head first into a pail of chocolate and Mama tasted a little bit off her...

Thanks! I too am in Virginia. :) I raise Kikos and savanna goats. The baby born today looks like boer. My doe has some explaining to do. Lol I know there is no boer in my bloodlines.

A doe of mine had a kid earlier today. The past 2 kiddings of hers have been twins so I am surprised to see only 1 this time. The doeling born today had one leg back so I had to assist in the birth. About an hour later she passed the afterbirth. Generally my does slim down almost immediately...

Thanks. Your avatar look a lot like my lost pygmy. He was black w/ brushes of white on his back, forehead, ears, and muzzle. :)

My little pygmy died Friday morning. My husband, daughter, & I were there with him when he passed on. Thank you guys for all your help and advice.

Lol! I found the red cell and Corid. I purchased tabs of iron and vit b. I had him out in the yard to get sunshine and graze a bit. I have vitamins/electrolytes in his water. So at this point all I can do is pray and wait for him to get better.

Great news! He is starting to form some pellets. They are coming out in a mass but there is some pellet formation. :weee

Ok. Got red cell in him. Picked up Corid. I am feeding him and took up his water so that when I put his water down he will drink a good amount. I have loose minerals in his pen so he can get some when he wants. I plan on giving him some crushed B & iron in some yogurt in a little while. I...

Oh, good idea! I have done that w/ iron pills. Thanks for the help. I will see what I can find tomorrow. :)

Virginia. Should I go ahead and treat him for Coccidia too....just in case?

Same w/ Vit B. Haven't been able to find that either. I will see what I can find. I just feel so helpless not being able to take him in but my 3 children must come first. The vets around here rip you off and charge an arm and a leg for everything. Hopefully I can get some meds w/ out taking...

No I don't. I have a couple feed stores that I can purchase stuff at....if it isn't too pricey. Forgot to mention that...gums and lids are very pale....which is why I wormed him. I did start Ivermectin (sp?) a couple days ago when the safe-guard wasn't changing his condition. Poo is green...

I usually dose w/ pepto and stop any extras like grain and will also try some pro-bios. Generally if it is something other than something they ate, the diarrhea will come back. His never returned to the liquid (ice cream soft serve not water) It is like dog poop. He does not have a temp. I...

Maybe. But it at least slows the loss of fluids while you are trying to figure out what is wrong.

I have a 3 month old pygmy. His illness started with diarrhea which I treated. It went from runny to more like dog poop and has been like that for a week now. I have tried worming him as well. Now he just lays around most of the time and when he tries to walk his front legs will all of a...

I treat the runs with pepto. Works like a charm. Mine are meat goats though so I don't know what that would do for a milk goat. I also use the pro-bios.

Thats exactly what I was going to say. The whole medicine world is one big sham. I am not going to buy the goat product that only contains 4mls of a 10% paste when I can purchase the horse/cattle tube (the big dog) for a 1/4 of the cost. As far as the amount, I am using safe guard for horse...

I give about a quarter size or a little larger. I was giving a smaller amount but was told to give her a larger amount since she must have a larger worm load. I gave a b shot, pro-bios, and an iron drench as well. I am going to worm her again today even though her jaw isn't swelled. (at least...
