One of my mini does has a bald patch under each ear any ideas what it is

Have you checked for lice or mites? Does she rub there a lot?

 

[DrakesFarm]

No I havnt checked how do you check. Also I hant Noticed it before and I havnt seen her scratching but that doesnt mean anything because I find it Very hard to spend as,much time down there in this weather. She is a very friendly girl so I would think I would have noticed

Lice you can see but mites you can't.

You could put some NuStock or MTG on it.

Can you get any pics?

 

[DrakesFarm]

Yes I can get pics when I get home, I guess its not lice because I looked at it real close. I will get several pics when I get home

 

[GoatieGranny]

Possibly ringworm?

 

[toth boer goats]

[DrakesFarm]

[toth boer goats]

Can't blame you, sounds like fun.

 

[DrakesFarm]

Yes i have had a good couple days Ive had several babies the last couple of days. So YAY no more abortions. Now here is the couple pics I could get . You have no idea how hard it is to get a pic with her trying to lick the camera.

Could be mites.

Injecting Ivomec may help along with putting mineral oil right on it to smoother anything on there daily. Try not getting it in the ear.

 

[DrakesFarm]

Ok will try

That really looks like mites. I would also use witches brew on it. Read through link below and it gives a recipe for making it.
