Bloody raw spots under Twins’s tails

I have no idea. Im so sorry they have this. I would like to learn.

Maybe the mama is licking them so raw they are getting bloody and yucky? Just a thought.

Hmm, it doesn't really look like anything I'm familiar with, I guess it could be from mom over licking, don't think it would be staph but definitely could be. Any ideas, @happybleats?

I'd clean it really good for now and apply Antibiotic cream like Neosporin on it a few times a day. Might be some type of a fungus? Honestly, I don't know.

Wait nevermind I do think it might be staph after taking a closer look at the buckling. He has little pimple like bumps around his rectum. I'd treat for Staph.



I found this that Cathy said in an old thread-



"Sure looks like staph. The Chlorhexidine is great for this. Wash a few times a day. Wear gloves. I would also feed her Garlic paste to boost her immune system ( just blend fresh garlic with olive oil to make a paste and feed about a tablespoon a few times a day)"

Looks like Staph. I would treat for it. Also check momma isnt over cleaning too.

Sorry folks for being MIA for the most part. Daughter got married...been busy week.

I agree that is staph and looks a bit infected. Possibly mom licking them. Check their temps. Give vit c and garlic paste tobheko boost immunity. (Paste is fresh raw garlic blended smooth ex virgin olive oil. Feed a 1/2- 1 teaspoon a few times a day.

Congrats!!

The buckling looks like some of his poop may have also gotten stuck to the area. That may have happened on the doeling, too, but it's harder to tell. I would get a warm, wet rag and gently clean that area up so you can tell exactly what and where the problem is.

Good advice, yes staph.

Hope they will heal quickly, looks painful.

Oh wow ok thanks everyone! I wasn’t sure what it is but was thinking fungus or staph. I’ll pick up some chlorhexidine and I’ll wash them tonight. Do I dab the chlorhexidine on the area? Or do I dilute it with water first?

Should be diluted 10 to 2, 10 parts water to 2 parts chlorhexidine.

Ok thank you!

Yep, I put it in a spray bottle and spray it in the area 2 x a day.
Be sure to shake the bottle before using.
Just spray it and let the goat go.

I've had this on several kids this year, it's staph. I spray with chlorhexidine 2 times daily and then put NuStock on it. Heals up fairly quick. It starts with the bumps and they open up and get yucky. I spray the other kids that don't have it with the chlorhexidine spray too so it kills any staph before it starts.
