Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I was thinking, "HELLOOOO????" He is very obviously a Nubian, not a Alpine.

She also had an AWESOME Alpine/LaMancha doeling that my husband about pitched a fit for, but I didn't have enough cash on me and we didn't have the checkbook. We may be going back after her unless he decides he doesn't want another bottle baby. No biggie for me since I'll be doing all of the work.

He's about to get his first bottle, so wish me luck. He had been nursing mama.

Not such great pics, but I'll have more later. He does have a little case of cloudy eye, but that should be clearing up in the next few days.

Cloudy eye caused by....?

If it's entropion (I've seen it w/ Nubians only...dunno if they're more prone or what) you can gently stretch it "open" and apply ointment several times a day.

eta, how did he eat?

He IS beautiful.

Undetermined. I'll check him for entropion. He's in quarantine until that is over and is getting Triple Antibiotic Ophthalmic Ointment in it 3x day. She was putting Today in it, but I don't have any of that.

I managed to get about a 1/2 bottle in him. It was a struggle, but not the worst bottle feeding struggle I've experienced. He prefers a regular baby bottle nipple over the pritchard. He's getting goat's milk today, a blend of goat and cow tomorrow, and then cow milk starting Tuesday.

I have yet to meet a goat that actually LIKES the pritchard nipple.
I bought 10 of them years ago...still have 'em. I tried 'em on the pygmies we had even....nope.
Mine just love their gray caprine nipples, lol.
