My goat looks awful again

[alsea1]

Sounds just like my goat Treeclimber.
I have decided to just put her in the freezer and try a different breed.
I had an alpine and she was very sturdy and robust. And gave a ton of milk. The oberhoslies look nice. I may try that breed.
The last straw was going out to hand feed her and finding she had a stuffy nose. I just don't have time to molly coddle this girl anymore.

Try Replamin Plus once a week. Give her 5cc. Have seen some good results with using it and know many people who are now swearing by it.

Just looked this up! Thanks, looks like some great stuff!

I have Nubian doe that is not as thrifty as the rest of my herd. She seems to be impossible to keep weight on. She looks like a skeleton sometimes. She constantly hollars for food even tho the other goats are right there eating hay or grass. Even when I milked her this summer and she got all the grain/beet pulp she wanted once a day she still only milked 1/2 gallon. Her hair is also more "slick" than the rest of the herd. Maybe it is just a Nubian thing.

Had wondered about this... partner had a Kiko with Nubian in it, always skinny... no CAE CL or Johnes, bloodwork all good, she triplets and weans high wean weights avg 140-150 lbs of wean weight. This percentage doe though always looked like it was starving... yet had acres and acres of trees brush, hay, feed daily. Parasite free... I always thought it was the Nubian in her. Glad you mentioned something treeclimber. She has since been sold- no more percentages here.
