I have a 9-month-old buckling that has been scouring for about 2 months. He was fine and healthy until my husband cut our milker back to one milking a day and reduced the amount of textured feed he was feeding in the trough (where all 3 of the goats eat). I recommended not cutting them back at...

I picked up a new doe and her doeling, who is about 6 weeks old, on Sunday. They were both sweet and happy and healthy, only about a 20 minute ride home so not super stressful. Late in the day Sunday I noticed mama had clumpy poop, so I gave her probios because that's what always helps my...

My husband bought two new goats yesterday at sale barn. They are both probably 3 months old. They appear to be Boer and Kiko mixes. They are not from the same herd. My husband dewormed (I cannot reason with him about this) and gave them Power Drench yesterday when he got them home. The boy has...

I’m very new to caring for goats. I just acquired a 4week old goat about 5 days ago and he wont take a bottle. he's eating feed, hay, and vegetation like crazy. But his little belly is super hard, he’s had diarrhea, and he doesn’t play at all. I'm worried. The only large animal vet in my area...
