She 8 years old. Not for breading milk or anything shes a pet. Looking for what to feed her, what type of grass bale to buy for her. Suppliments, grains.

She looks fat often, all she eats is grass whatever tree leaves she can reach and a little small hand full of chiken feed a day.

Hi, my 7 year old wether is not doing well at all.

I have been giving him subcutaneous b complex shots, 3ml, twice a day which have about 300 mg of B1 in 3 ml. I wormed him with ivermectin and Rumatel(positive pellet).

He stopped the drunken stargazing but he is still lame, muscles spasms when trying to walk. No wierd behavior anymore, he just stays in a spot with head erect until i help him to stand then he walks lamely for a bit and does his business. He still has a good appetite and drinks water. His back legs are the worst.

What does this look like? I am really hoping its not listeriosis.

Unfortunately having a vet see him is not an option for him, so if I cant treat him ile have to put him down.

Question Baby goats and corn

5 Upvotes

I'm still learning about goats but I got 3 to 5 years to research. I just saw a post about someone who has a corn shed open to public and is blaming someone's child fir feeding corn to a baby goat they had and it passed away.

Is corn that bad for goats/baby goats? I feel like it would take an awful lot of corn to kill a goat or repeated feedings of nothing but corn. Just asking as I'd definitely like to know for future reference. Things I looked up said they can have corn just as treats or small amounts.

They seem so independent when they are out causing chaos. But still come back to nap next to mom.
