Lets talk about goats!
I just came in from feeding everyone and giving fresh water. I noticed honey had a clump on her vulva. I went and cleaned it off. She has a white discharge. Could this be pregnancy related or possible heat? Here is a picture. There is also dried crust from the discharge on her tail. t- gonechickens

Rebecca copper bolus you can get off of amazon. It's like a giant pill with copper rods inside. I weigh my goats, break open the pill and make sure they're getting right dose. From what I have read is 1 gram per 20lbs. Not sure if you can get from feed store. I purchased mine from Amazon...- gonechickens

It really is hard to not be impatient. The first thing we did the day we brought her home is weigh her, worm her and gave copper bolus. Plan on doing a second worming 10 days from the first worming.

Question about possible pregnant doe. My husband and I just purchased our first Nigerian Dwarf doe. When we went to pick her up. The owner said that there is a very high chance that she is already pregnant but doesn't have an exact date. As she just bought her back from the people she sold her...- gonechickens

We did worm them yesterday. They are milk breeds. I haven't ever owned any milk breeds before only Boers. Milk breeds are new territory for me. Goats are new territory for my husband. They always have grass hay. Feeder never goes empty. They also get alfalfa pellets, and they get let out to...- gonechickens
