New Nubian Doeling

She looks thinner is these pictures. I would start adding in a concentrated feed slowly. Calf manna is a good one, but be sure and go slow. You could also do some beet pulp; goats usually love it. I would make sure no worms too.

She needs a fecal check yesterday
Look for cocci and parasites

Are you POSITIVE she is CAE negative?

If she is 9 months then she was born in Nov. Not common for a Nubian to freshen that time of year. Not impossible, but not common either.

I don't own any goats yet, and some might say that I like my animals "overweight" ( I prefer "not skinny")... To me, she looks very underweight and in need of some serious feeding up. Have to agree with what's already been said by the pros... a fecal yesterday and boost in high quality/high protein feed.

She´s absolutely gorgeous! With all that green grass and a huge amount of love I believe she will be just fine! A tad of grain won´t hurt her and that with you nearby will help you and her bond. Love the pictures!
OH! BTW! We used to raise and had over 200 rabbits. At times the bucks would find themselves head to head and would go straight for each others eyes. We used aloe vera on them and though they had by all appearances looked to be blind with the use of the aloe vera (straight from the leaf) we found that their eyes HEALED! Aloe vera really is a very healing and miracle of a plant!

She does look thinner in these last batch or pics. She is very pretty. I agree with @babsbag that November is a very odd time for a goat to freshen.

@Southern by choice, we had her tested for CAE before we got her. The vet clinic that handled the testing called us to tell us the results (and emailed them to us).

I ran a fecal yesterday and it looks like Harriet has Brown Stomach worms. What then should I use to worm her?

@Dage, we have an aloe vera plant right now and we use it for cuts/burns (on us). I will try that on Harriet though!

I would use Ivermectin to treat the worms. Injectable given orally, 2 cc / 100 lbs.

Yesterday we also ran a fecal on our Alpine doeling and she has what looks like Barberpole worms. Can I treat her with Ivermectin as well?

 

[babsbag]

Yes.
