So I have this doe, Missy. She is a year and 2 months old. about 8 months ago, i noticed she had lost her 2 front teeth. then a few months afterwards, i noticed two more teeth were gone.
there are pieces of teeth in the gum, but i can't be sure if they're new teeth or old teeth that are leftover. nothing seems to have grown for a while, but when i looked today, it seems like the 4 baby teeth that are left shifted further back...maybe to make room for the new teeth?? anything i can do to help her with her teeth? she isn't in pain or anything, and she eats just fine...just wondering if this is normal.
i tried taking a picture, but it's hard to hold down a goat!! attached is the best that i could have done.
also, i'm not sure how to trim her hooves. the tips of the toes curl in. is there a way for me to trim them to help correct it? she also likes to stand on the heel of her hind legs...anything i can do to fix it?
thanks for your help!
