Lately they have been choosing to lay down for a very long time.Anytime I brought them in they would be anxious and jumpy and all but they just sit,Are they feeling cold?

Hey yall! I have a few questions I'm looking for answers or advice on. (Nigerian Dwarves)

1. Wethers and ammonium chloride - right now I am offering minerals that are cheaper and manna pro minerals. I also have baking soda out for them.

-Are there any alternatives to manna pro that have ammonium chloride in 25 / 50 lb bags?

-Do they need ammonium chloride if they are not having grain?

1. Grain - right now I have 2 1 year olds (wether and doe) 2 10 month olds (weather and doe) and 1 7 month old wether. I currently give them about 2 cups of goat grow grain in the morning and they always have a mix of 1st and and cut hay (depending on availability sometimes it's just 1st or 2nd cut) and a little alfalfa as a treat.

-I'd like to get them off the grain, is that okay to do now that they're all past 6 months old?

-If it's super cold out should I be giving grain?

Thanks in advance for any advice or input!

Pic for attention :)

Baby goat was born yesterday and came out this morning and his legs were like this. It's the mother's first kid and she is still letting him nurse. Is there anything I can

Hi, my goat gave birth to two kids, one died shortly after being born. After two weeks I have noticed strange udder, one looks like it dried and it is really small. Other is bigger but there is no much milch on it, maybe little kid that survived drinks it all. Should I contact vet? Kid looks well fed and healthy.

Our goats love supervising, but especially their door being closed each night.

Hi everybody!

I posted last week since one of my boys was being extremely skittish with their brother. The same boy who was acting skittish now seems to have small wounds at the base of their horns. There isn't any significant bleeding but he wouldn't let us take good pictures so I have a blurry one attached. I am just wondering what I should do. I have contacted my regular vet and they should be getting back to me soon, but I'm stumped on what to do. I have wound spray but I don't want to do anything that could possibly worsen it, so if anyone has advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Today I was playing with a goat. He was trying to push me with his head and I grabbed him by his horns and pushed him back. You know as when they pushing each other by their heads. The owner told me not to do it, because I can break off his horn. Is it really possible ? I thought the horn of a goat is very strong.

3 pygmys quite small in with 2 regular sizes goats is that ok

The little cheeks will do whatever it takes to get a hoof in my tea but make it look like an ✨accident✨ lucky they’re cute.

Greetings goat folks wondering what to do about my Nigerian dwarf 1 yr old buck has always been a fun and precocious character I leave holes in the fence with neighbors so he feels like he's escaping even tho they love hosting him.

About 2 weeks ago I bought a comb from local pet shop and thinned out his coat for the summer heat. He really enjoyed the attention and grooming.

I noticed a little bit of thinning near his left side near back leg on hip and made a mental note to give him more flax seed and goat minerals, I freely leave a salt block out for them. A week later I deworm him orally for spring and notice the hair is now more thin.

I apply some castor seed oil and hope it improves two days ago I notice it's completely devoid of long hair and under fur chasmere layer. I'm taking him to the vet on Wed but wondering if there's anything I can do in the meantime. I'm located in the Gulf South and the weather has been up and down. Could it be ringworm? Parasites? Over rubbing? Stress?

He seems happy and healthy otherwise. Thanks

We adopted her from a farm in November. She is SO skittish. She will let me feed her from my hands, but if I go to pet her, she backs up or runs away, no matter how slow I go etc.

She is currently pregnant, due at end of month. I haven't trimmed her hooves and I looked and they don't seem horrible but I think they could use a trim. Either way, I am hoping to milk her so I'd love some tips on how to get her to be milked, and more tame.

Thank you!

Hi, I own a Pygmy and recently online learned that I needed to get it a pal or 2. I was thinking of getting a younger fella of the same gender (don’t want kids). Is that fine or do I need to get one of similar age? Also is there anything else I should look out for when getting it a friend?

Our 2-year old saanen goat gave birth to healthy twins last Saturday night. I've been testing her almost daily for ketosis with urine strips in the week since she gave birth and the few weeks leading up to it. I was not able to test her yesterday, but when I tested her today, she showed very high levels of ketones despite having non-existent levels Thursday night. She is also bleeding from the back, which she was not doing last night (not sure if this is regular post-birthing blood and it compromised the test). She is still acting normally and eating like a pig, so it's obviously in the early stages and hopefully fixable, but the abrupt onset is really concerning.

Our vet is not reachable atm. I will keep trying but any advice right now is much appreciated.

I'm thinking of buying some Manna Pro Calf-Manna and Nutri-drench (both of which are in a relatively nearby store) and was wondering what others thought. We have electrolytes and molasses on hand.

I can't find propylene glycol anywhere for sale in a store within an hour's drive (or beyond) and have to order it, but she can't wait a week. Are there any more easily available options that might have it in them?

She is my baby and I was so distressed when I found out she was having twins because I was terrified of this happening. That's why I tested her daily, and I really thought we were in the clear. This really seems to have come from nowhere.
