When do dwarf goats sacs fall off after banding?

[#MomLife]

If it was me i would give it a few more days. Sounds like they are almost off. My concern would be if you were to cut whats left you might create a larger wound then what is initially there.

That’s what I’m afraid of, I know that they obviously aren’t getting blood anymore but worried if I cut I might hurt them worse than they are. It’s gotta come off soon right?! Any harm in them taking 2 months to come off?

Nope, they will fall off when they are fully detached....just keep it clean with antibiotic spray

They are small boys. The bands may not have been as tight on them as they would have been on a larger kid, due to less volume within the bands.

So they finally fell off at 7 weeks! Thanks for all the info!

Yeah ! DONE...

hi, we’re new to goats and we banded two little guys about a month ago. Their ball sacs are hard as rocks, and they are starting to detach, but there is open wounds around the Speed Test Scrabble Word Finder SolitaireTops of the bands. Only on the fronts of both i believe. Not huge sores, just if I pull them back slightly I can see red flesh. Is this something to worry about?.

they are dried and shriveled that it's safe to cut the sack off....but, I haven't been able to make myself do that.

Hold the goat and gently turn the sack, if it turns all the way....just contine turning it. ...after a few turns you will have it in your hand. Then put antiseptic on the open area
