Hello, I’m a new goat owner ! My husband rescued 2 goats and a lamb from a slaughter and were told they were wormed which I am having a hard time believing they were okay the first week, now one is super sick!! I gave them dewormer and slowly giving him bounce back but his gums are almost white...
Hi I have a sheep who last night I found her “stuck” in a corner with her head between a post and a wallaby her butt against a flexible fence, so she could’ve gotten out if she tried but I just got her out myself. When I got her out she staggered around and was tripping on things, I thought she...
Hi! I'm fairly new to having sheep. I have 2 Katahdin wethers that are about a year old now. One of them recently developed some pretty horrible (almost onion-garlicky) breath. I also noticed a small lump in his neck. He doesn't appear to be in any pain but I'd like to address whatever is...
I have a kid who is 4 weeks old and is the smallest of the triplets. Yesterday, she came out of the stall with her siblings and momma but separated herself from the others. She was very lethargic and shivering. I took her temp and it was 106.8! So i brought her in and gave her a few ml of...
(Update: He passed) Hi, I recently got two bottle babies and they were drinking off the bottle fine but the past few days the male started to act weird.. he would stand in the middle of the yard while his sister would run and graze.. we got worried and took him to the vet but the vet said he was...
Hey, i just got back on town from a 3 week trip. When I left my 9 year old Saanen was fine, but now she is very weak and won't eat. She definatly has worms which I already treated with cydectin from the vet and SafeGuard. I believe she must've gotten them from the baby kiko I had a month ago...
So two of our three bred Silver fox does gave birth today!
Our doe Ruby had 2 DOAs One was very large and kinda bloated the other one looked like she pulled it out (streched out with a hole in its belly area). She currently has 4 healthy but unfed kits in the beautiful nest she built. She has...
This is our first experience with kidding goats and so far it’s been absolutely tragic.
One of our does had a premature stillborn on Monday night. (She was due at the end of June.) She’s always been the least dominant in the herd so a little on the skinnier side compared to the other two...
I recently started breeding rabbits for the FFA. I am currently on my second liter and my female Dutch rabbit gave birth to 9 babies, however, I came to check on them and suddenly the nest was in pieces, the kits were peed on and looked starving. I cleaned the nest and added fresh hay. Two of...
Relatively new to duck keeping, started our flock with 5 Khaki Campbell ladies and one drake. Recently within the last two months, added 2 Muscovy ladies as we were hoping they would sit and we would get some babies! Within the last two days, one of our Muscovy's has began to sit on the nest...
This morning I went outside to let him out of his pen so he could roam, and found him on the floor, unwilling to move. He's more proactive now, trying to stand up on his own, but is unable to do so. Right now he is able to stand because i have his front end propped up with a stool.
I've had him...
