Thank you to everyone who replied. We live in Spain and this forum is the most helpful one I have been able to find. We will keep looking for a suitable friend for her. Thanks guys. :D
Hi yes she is our only goat and we do know that she needs a friend. We keep looking for a suitable goat friend for her but in our area ther are not many goats available. Do you think she is trying to hurt me or could she just be playful as she has always been so sweet before even a few hours...
I really dont know what is wrong with Carmela. I fed her this evening and added some pellets to her feed and I was amazed she ate every last bit up. I went in her paddock to take her bucket away to clean it and talked to her and stroked her neck as usual, she was fine then suddenly she started...
Went to see her again after the water episode and she didnt rear or try to but me just stood there and let me stroke her. I gave in this evening and gave her her favourite food but will still keep leaving her some pellets just in case she changes her mind. I had read about goats being very...

I have been to various animal feed shops here in Spain but no one seems to have any copper supplements for goats.
She is...
Hi thank you for the reply. She does have a shelter and half an acre which is all fenced. She was kept with a couple of other goats in a small pen with no grass or anything but soil. When you say she will need goat feed do you mean grains or alfalfa pellets. She has the half acre to graze on...
We have just acquired a doe she is one year old. We took her on as the owners were desperate to get rid of her. She has never had a kid and we dont intend to breed her she is purely a pet. We have half an acre of land and we hope to get her a friend as she is very lonely and cries a lot...
