I was told by a vet that no a hen couldn't do that, but a rooster could. but we lost all our roosters last fall. Would a hawk fly in to get a chicken in the barn and do that? or a stray male cat? We also have racoons and and Big rats...but a cut that big. I know it had to hurt but cashmere...

Here are pictures of the wound. The odd thing is it has to be a lot of nails if it is, because there all over the goats. Misty has on her back,sides and belly. Cashmere has them on her side, neck, face and belly. Cashmere has the biggest cut. We looked when we found the wounds. We found no...

Ok, so last weekend we went over to the goats and found cashmere's neck was cut open. It was 4"long by 1-2" wide, Thankfully it was just her skin. Called the vet and they said it as just skin so they didn't need to close the wound. I was told to wash it out with hydrogen peroxide, and apply...

Ok, so she could still just be fat....She never really slimmed down after having star. We thought for a long time after star was born she'd have another kid...even the vet was shocked she just had one.... We didn't control her food in take when she was pregnant with star, but after bolt we cut...

Well, we lost bolt in jan. But before he had the prolapse he got with cashmere. He got out of his pen and got to cashmere before we could stop him, we pulled them apart, but cashmere is getting bigger and eating alot more. So bolt may have got her pregnant. We counted and think if she is...

Yeah i will, the same for any male we get. they're just getting hay and AC.

Ms. Research: thanks, we were hoping for the best but i had a feeling it would end this way. SuburbanFarmChic: Yeah will do, we called the vet and we can't get a autopsy all places are closed because of Martin Luther king day. and we have no place to put him. So we buried him on his favorite...

Yeah, we tried to shut the dogs up but they wouldn't. Sad update: Bolt passed away last night.:hit In the end we couldn't do anything, we got penG but it didn't help. We are thinking of getting an autopsy to find what happened to him. So maybe if someone's goat shows signs like bolt they can...

is this what everyone calls penG?

well, it got really cold and now he's not doing good.....he won't take the meds and just spits them out, and he's not moving around. i got video of him doing the gagging or whatever it is he's doing. autumnprairie:Yeah, but i have got to see star some. she's bouncing around and has her own...

Thanks,she gave him: Ammonium chloride, drench @ 2x/day for one week and then 1x/day for one more week. the dose is 6ml Dexamethasone, can't remember the dose, SQ, 1x/day for 3 days. (i think that's all that she had on the truck.) We have to call her Monday and see if he needs more. She gave...

we found a vet to come out, she had a hard time getting the prolapse back and had to use a lot of stitches to hold it. Her saw the food (we feed free choose noble goat and alfafa oat mix hay.) and asked if we'd seen him pee, we hadn't so she say she thinks it's a crystal in his pee that is stuck...

Ok, a little update. Checked on bolt, i think he is like our little rooster that got held under the water by our dog and drowned but came back to life....i think bolt has 9 lives....He's still alive and the prolapse is smaller and i think he's stopped gagging!! :fl I gave him more aspirin and...

Well, no vet never showed up....i told our vet she wouldn't come.....we can't get banamine, no friend or friends of friends have any. So we've gave him a aspirin (dissolved in water in a oral syringe) and put some hemorrhoid cream on the prolapse. I think he chewed something(like the wood on the...

wet retching noise......

It comes and goes in spells, when he has the spells it's one or two minutes...in between spells 5 or 10 minutes.

I only have one, i texted her....Is there anything we could get at the tractor supply? i gave him a baby aspirin.... No he's gagging like he's trying to vomit, but he's been locked up in a room for two days cause of weather...so i don't think he got poisoned.

Will banamine stop the gagging and pain? or just pain? Is it injected or oral? Can i get it at Tractor Supply?

Our male goat is sick, He's gagging bad and has a prolapsed rectum, we tried sugar but he gags and makes it worser!! Is there anything we can do to get him to stop gagging? We called our vet but he's down with a broken foot. We're waiting for a call from another vet, but i don't hold hope for...

Ok, i got the weird goat....:he she's in heat and won't even look at the baby. Thankfully it can still get milk from her, Our misty is keeping star warm and cuddling her. Thank god we moved Bolt to a different room, no more kids for cashmere. But it's funny she's trying to get into Bolt's room...
