    i have two kid Pygmy goats about 3 weeks apart. The older one has started chewing on the younger ones ears to the point of being raw. Is there something I can put on them that will taste bad by not hurt the goat doing the chewing in hopes that he will stop? Thanks!

    How old are they? Bottle fed? What is their diet?

    I would spray BluKote wound spray on the ears
