I have a Lamancha doe who has been acting strange lately. I was administering Safe-guard to my goats (no signs of serious parasitic infection, just as a precaution), and after giving a dose to one of my does as well as some Nutri-drench, she became very lethargic and had clumpy/soft stool. She...
Hello from South Carolina.
We just got our first two goats and are getting ready to bring home three more.
One of our little bucks has pinkeye. I got saline eye-rinse and terramycin ointment for him and I know how to treat him. I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea, as long as I can...

Today my goat Charlotte started acting very strange all of a sudden. She seems like she has amnesia. She doesn't want to eat (she is usually obsessed with grain) she just stands in the same place and looks "spaced out". She's not hurt or blind, no changes in diet. And she's making a really loud...
I came out this morning to find my goat drooling, he acted a little bit sluggish but still eats, drinks, and goes potty alright and his poop is solid. I kept an eye on him making sure It didn't get worse it didn't but it didn't get better. I put him in a stall with fresh water, hay, and Baking...
Our 12 week old Nigerian Dwarf doe was acting weird last night, lying down, then standing up, then lying down, over and over while she ate her grain. Anyone ever seen this behavior before? She seems totally normal besides the strange lying down behavior. Hoping she isn't in pain from bloat or...
So, today one of my first kids, he's three weeks old, became limp, he was fine only a few hours ago, we went out to eat, came back and I tried to feed him, he fed well, but when I put him down to walk to his brother, he collapsed and wouldn't get back up. He's floppy, but we don't think he has...
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...
