Hey all,

Misty, one of my does, has this build up of white foamy saliva on her mouth/lips. It seems to be only when she's eating, or chewing her cud. I never noticed this before; it seems something recent (she's had it on and off for at least a week, and I didn't have time to ask about it). None of the other goats have it. She's not acting weird or sick in any other way, though her coat is slightly coarse and she's a touch thin. She's eating & drinking normally.

Ideas?

Thank you!

Is there a lot of clover in your hay or pasture?

I agree with the clover.

I have a nubian who is now 4 years old..she is always foamy..no matter what she eats..some times the foam is so thick it looks like she is wearing shaving cream lol..The first time I saw it I panic..check for blockage,the works..but its just her..none of my others do this, not even her daughters..as long as she is acting normal other wise I wouldnt worry...
