So about Honeysuckles leg... and a few more pictures (ok a lot).

[crazyland]

I got a good picture for you to see how far she is flexing it. It doesn't look pretty.
I just don't think that waiting will work although she does-can hold it in the correct position.

We also haven't come up with a name for the 3rd girl. The biggest black one is Thistle and the tiny brown is Honeysuckle. But for the other tiny black one...
Yes we have a little theme of flowers for all the girls except Momma. So big sister is Eastern Shootingstar, or just Shootingstar.

Ok you can see how badly she flexes her rear leg.

Valentine wondering what i am doing in the box with the babies. lol

Shootingstar on top of the box.

The family!

Two pretty little girls.

The proud little farmer.

Someone has a lot of growing to do!

She really needs some BoSe...

They're just sooo adorable!

Yup, bo-Se would help that right away, but it will get better on its own in a few days.

Thanks everyone. I'll be picking some up in the morning.
Anything else I'll need in the near future?
I'll be talking with somebody I know about disbudding them. I have to look up a little info on that. I know some of you talk about some sort of shot to help the kids.

BoSe is prescription only so you will have to get it from the vet. I also think it looks like she needs.

BoSe is what most people are referring to about a shot to help the kids. B vit help if they are not eating well.

They are adorable!

I thought she maybe meant the shot to help the kids during dehorning. but wasn't sure. Like Banamine(spelling?)

I know some people give banamine or baby painkillers when they disbud to help with pain and swelling.

This site has good info for beginners. http://fiascofarm.com/goats/medications.htm#pain

I think the un-named goaty should be Forget Me Not.

 

[crazyland]

I just have to call the vet in the morning and pick it up. I do have a very good vet that I found here.
The benamine is what I was referring to for the disbudding.

LOL Forget-me-knot is a little hard to spit out when calling them.
We came up Ixia. I tried Candytuft on the kids but they like Ixia better.

I do go back and forth on Fiasco. Lots of info there.

*ETA*
The vet is coming tomorrow afternoon. We are down to one vehicle at the moment (lots of vehicle troubles past month, all just misfortune) and it is tough to get around so I have to suck up the vet visit cost.
