Hello everyone!
I'm looking for some advice. I had 2 goats, almost 5 years old. One passed away today, leaving my one all by himself. I was wondering what I could give him for stress/anxiety? My mom has 3 horses, including one mini horse he is around but I know he's going to be upset.

He also has CAE, he is healthy now just big knees but I was also wondering what type of joint supplements I could give him or you recommend? Thanks so much in advance. 🙂🤍

Horse joint supplements work. You just have to adjust dosage for the goat's weight.

Sorry you lost one. Being herd animals he may want his own kind.... consider finding a herd mate for him. He will be looking for his pal.

Okay, thank you! I bought horse supplements, how do I adjust the weight? I know horse wormer is tripled, do I do the same for glucosamine? I don't want to mess it up lol!

Thank you, that's my plan but it won't be until Spring. I am in the middle of nursing school right now so time is pretty limited for me at the moment.
