Granny's gone and done it again

[CapricornFarm]

I got a floppy hat for gardening, it says "beachy" but substitue. " it " for ea and you will know how i felt about the lady with the tent! I went there as agreed but it was a locked door community assisted living and i emailed her and waited. Nothing. I never got a phone number. Finally i left and got lunch. Went back there, again, nothing. When she finally emailed me, she said she sold it! Urge to kill!

The buckling is scouring. @jane s chickens @CapricornFarm @AlleysChicks

who else had goats? I noticed it earlier but when I held him it got all over my legs and just leaked out while he walked, not sure if he had control or not. He seems weaker. The doeling has pellets. Both have very full, tight tummies and I know they didn’t eat since this morning. Anything I can do tonight?

Spoiler: Goat poop

His whole bottom looks worse now.

Stop giving him pellets. Give drench, equal parts kao syrup, corn oil, and molasses. I give kaopectate, but some people say its bad. Feed hay, leaves, grass only, but he can have apple slices, carrots, and a ripped up piece of whole wheat bread. Goat electrolytes in the water.

Oh poor thing. A quick search says stop milk and milk replacer and give electrolyte instead. They make a special one for goats apparently.

Coccidiosis also came up in the search. Not sure how you tell the difference.

He hasn’t had pellets or anything but about an ounce of milk replacer. They aren’t even drinking water. How do I give the syrup concoction? In the cheek with a syringe? Is there an amount? He’s 13lbs. Is this coccidiosis?

I think we found the same thing. I can take him to the vet in the morning.

Well, Robert wasnt lying. He has one blood blister on one hand and 6 on the other.

He needs some gloves. You don't build up callouses playing video games.

Can you clean him up some? It would burn the foals if they ever had the runs. Took the hair off of one little baby.

and he is done before I could finish post. He went over it once, didnt do the side and complaining it pinched his hands.

have him wear gloves.

Oh shoot, I didnt want to look at the picture. Does that mean he has the squirts ?
