[Nigerian dwarf goat]

my mini alpine buck has a few bald spots on his legs. I usually try and give bathes to them every month and a half, but since it has been cold, he hasn't gotten one for maybe 2.5-3 months. I noticed them this mornin' when he jumped on the fence. So... how will i go about treating this? I cant give him a bath, because i don't want him to get sick...
thanks,
Nigerian dwarf goat

i will get pics soon!

Just bathe and dry his legs good. Then nustock on them. Is what i have seen suggested for others lately.

If its actual urine scald (not mites) bag balm or Vaseline can also work.

as you can see, his legs are pretty greezy and gross

I would wash off the legs and put Vaseline on them.

One of my bucks has peed the hair off the side of his face. I wipe him off with baby wipes and put either Nu stock or diaper cream on it to protect the skin. I can’t wait until they are out of rut.

Oh my gosh, same! He is being such a little you know what!

I think i will try wiping him with soapy water, then with baby wipes, and dry it real good. Coat in vaseline, then later that day, I will try a little Nustock on it... crossing my fingers!

i think well start treatment tomorrow, because today is in the 50's, but tomorrow we will be 70 degrees, so i think tomorrow will be better!

Well, it did end up seeming warmer, so i went ahead and gave him a full bath, and coated his spots in vaseline.
Tomorrows game plan:shave all the pee stained hair from his legs, and put some nustock on it.
