Some goats do have teeth issues as they age, thankfully its not something I've encountered. I don't think its very common, but it can still happen.

How old is she? Do goats have teeth issues when they get older like horses I wonder?

Why is it so hard to find a good goat vet? Arg!

I'll have to reference her papers , but I think she's 6. From what I've read too, teeth can become issues with random goats add they age. Hopefully I can find a vet close that will work on them.

OK, vet does fecals for $15!! Waiting for my husband to come back with my truck, then off to gather berries.

Will post results!!

And since it's cheap, I will do the other goat that is with her, that I got at the same place and time, although the second one looks fine.

Put berries in plastic Baggie and put in fridge and then on ice to transport

Really? What does keeping them cold do? I brought mine in room temperature, now I'm wondering about my results. Of course it was a 10 minute drive.

they start hatching

The eggs hatch in cold? Or keeps FROM hatching?

Keeping the fecal cold prevents hatching.

I ran a fecal last week... very inaccurate count because there were only 2 eggs but there were so many that had hatched it was crazy...

Good to know!

We will be doing our own fecals for our goats. due to the fact we won't have a goat, cow, horse vet around.
