Okay I will go look again. So I looked a little deeper and noticed a few things. 1. They are shedding winter coats. (Not sure if that causes itching or not) 2. I didn't notice this on my white tri colored goat (could be because hes white and it blends in) but on my brown/black goat I saw white...

Okay thank you! I actually wanted to bring them to the vet so they could show us how it was done so then in the future we could do it ourselves. And I actually want to be a vet when I'm older so I should hope I'll be able to give them shots lol! Edit: okay so I edited to ask if there was...

Hi I have 2 nigerian dwarf goats and I was wondering if theres like a spray or something you guys give your goats to repel the mosquitos? Now that spring is here the bugs are back and my poor babies are getting eaten alive... Any tips to stop this? Also, I really want to bring them to bring them...

Congrats on the new kids! and :welcome I don't think it would be possible to potty train goats but I have heard of people putting diapers on their goats to have them inside. I'm not sure how this works or if it would be a good idea. Maybe you could bring them in for a couple hours but full time...

These are my ND goat wethers Smokey and Buford. They will be turning 1 in Feb. I was wondering if anyone here knew anything about showing wethers in 4-H. Would I just show them in showmanship or is there a different class for them...? Any help about showing goats in general would be greatly...

His temp was 102.7 Its gone up a little. We don't think he has bloat but gave him some gasX now anyway.

Also, my wether is still chewing his cud (not teeth grinding) but I haven't seen him pee or poop since yesterday morning. I also noticed that if I put him on a spool, he grunts as if it hurts when he jumps down.

Okay so my wether smokey is not getting better. This morning he had more foam in his mouth otherwise seemed fine. I had to get to school so all I had time to do was feed them and leave. Well now that I got home he can no longer jump onto the spool and was crying out a little bit. He's still...

Okay thanks for all your help. I think I'll wait and see hows he's looking tomorrow then start the penicillin if needed.

No his ears don't feel very cold. Now he's starting to get his voice back but he still seems off. Do you think its safe to give him his normal amount of food when feeding time comes?

Okay sorry that took so long. My mom really didn't want to help but i finally convinced her. His tempature ended up at 100.6 Is that normal?

Okay will do thanks

Thanks everyone. We're going to be getting some gas X later today when my mom goes shopping. In the meantime should we try baking soda? We were just gonna go out and try it when I read all your replies. We haven't given him anything yet but he's looking better now. Not back to normal, but now...

Thank you for the quick reply. He is eating but I haven't really seen him drink. He probably has though. We tried giving him baking soda mixed with a little water earlier but he wouldn't eat it. We might just have to force it down I guess. Hopefully that'll work! Thanks again.

Hi guys. I'm a newer goat owner who has no experience with treating sick goats. I have two nigerian dwarf goat wethers. They are about 6 months old. One of them is acting just fine the other seems sick. I thought maybe he was bloated but he's no bigger than usual. I haven't seen him poop but he...

X2!!!!!! This is what I have to do when the kids are born. The goats and chickens share a house but the chickens have their own smaller section with a door too small for the goats to fit through. The first few months of the kids lives though, they can usually fit so then I have to block off the...

Thanks and who doesn't! ;) :P :love
