    My husband, daughter and I live on 40 acres in a small town outside another slightly larger small town in northern Ontario. We have been here for two years after moving down from Whitehorse in the far north. Eventually, we would like to live almost entirely off our land and run a small dogsled...

    goat loosing hair

    Thanks, your support makes me feel less ashamed. do you think I should also give them some ivermectin too? The vet seemed to think that the powder would do it but there is a lot of area to cover and what if I miss a sopt and I can't get rid of all of them? I give one cup of black oil...

    goat loosing hair

    Well, it seems that my goats have lice. I am horrified that my animals could become infected with this. I thought things were being kept clean and they were being fed properly but still here we are. My vet recommended a louse powder rubbed into the skin and then cover the animals repeat in 14...

    goat loosing hair

    I was wondering about mites too but they are not scratching or rubbing at all. Maybe mange but how would they contract that? No new animals have been introduced and I can't see how two can have this and not the other one. The buck has very large flakes of skin shedding as well as crusty...

    goat loosing hair

    I know it's spring but this isn't just regular shedding. My buck goat started to loose his hair about one week ago and now one of the does is loosing her hair as well. This is really disturbing because the hair is falling out in big chunks and all that is left behind is pink skin. I left the...

    Need Help Please- Dog Poisoned- Emergency - Update - She Died

    Obstruction is always the first thing that comes to my mind when a dog can't keep anything down. If it is an obstruction, the vomit will usually have an odour that smells similar to stool. And the dog will become weaker and weaker very quickly. If your dog is still having bowel movements...

    newborn puppy trouble

    That's a really good point about something different in her diet. I just bought her a digestable pig skin bone that she has never had before (she was stealing my socks and tearing them to pieces). She has had terrible, clear the room gas ever since. I'm removing that bone as I write.

    newborn puppy trouble

    Thanks for the quick reply. You are putting my mind at ease. I'm pretty sure they are overeating. And being overstimulated by momma dog. I have panacur here for momma. I've only had this dog for three weeks. I tried to deworm her before the pups arrived but I only got one day into here...

    newborn puppy trouble

    I'm not really sure if I have a problem or not. My pups are 8 days old and have very loose yellow bowel movements. I know that they are not "normal" but I'm not sure if I should be concerned. I weigh them every day, they are all gaining. Thet are all nursing and sleeping well. They seem...

    HELP!!!! Pullet eggbound???

    It sound like egg bound although I've never had to deal with this. You could run a search on this topic as I know there is a lot of good information on archived posts. I think I would put her in a warm bath to see if this would get things moving. And keep forcing those fluids on her.

    6 Aussie puppys doing good, Bandit is now forsale!!

    Don't be upset about the accidental breeding. It can be extremely difficult to keep a female away from her guy. This is just advice, only one persons opinion: I would have her spayed right away. Even if I didn't have the money, I'd work out a payment plan with my vet or go to the local...
