Hi All,
I have two 4 month Nigerian goat bucklings that I banded about 4 days ago. All was going well, balls were starting to shrink, until today they both started smelling horrible! Like death. I checked the bands and everything looks normal. No swelling, oozing or redness. I did not see any flies or maggots. Both boys are acting fine, walking, eating normally, poop and peeing normally. I checked and they have no fever. I started them both on 4 ml of injectable oxytetracycline to be safe and sprayed with iodine and blue kote. Also both boys had very large testicles for their age! So large we had to use a California bloodless bander which is like the tied tube band. I’ve read that sometimes when the balls are big they can stink. Is it normal for the balls to smell so bad? Has anyone had this happen? Thanks in advance!
