Your site is fantastic. You are so close to me since I live in Crossville. Can you guide me to someone who might have raw goat’s milkl for salel I’m expecting a litter of collie puppies the first week of Sept. and would like to have some on hand. One day I plan to have my own goats to supply me, but I’ve only been here in Tennessee two years and am just getting my place ready for other animals.

You need to keep them seperated untill you teach the dog not to bite or it will happen again. I lived for one
year with a baby gate teaching my dog not to bite my cat, but it works, and now they lay, play and argue,
with each other, with no injury, but it was work. It can be done, but it is training, it does not just happen.
At least, not if their has already been a bite. Some dogs just would walk by and not care, others , well…

hi i have a emergency our dog bit our 3 month old baby boy Nubian in the face. we just got him yesterday and the goat has not had his shots yet- but my dog is up to date on his shots. my dad is gone with the only car but as soon as he gets home we are getting the shots. (tentus) do we need to get any thing else?? The bleeding has stopped, his nose and mouth are cut- but no fresh blood in the mouth or out the nostrils . my mom put bag balm on it immediately and we gave him anti-biotic water. I’ve been dabbing his cuts with a clean rag that was soaked in the antibiotic water. other than that, he is doing well… the dog… well, he’s mom’s and mom is MAD! he never bit any of mom’s animals before, all she has to say it “MAMA’S!” and he protects them. we don’t know why he bit. any advice would be nice. thanks so much!

Bonnie, Pinkeye can be contracted by humans however the course of the disease is different and not as serious. Please wash your hands after treating each goat as it is especially contagious among goats. Try to isolate the infected ones or you’ll soon have your entire herd affected. You can keep all the infected goats together.

As for treatment, I always use LA 200 directly in the eye (I treat both eyes, regardless). Use a syringe to pull the liquid from the bottle & leave the needle in the bottle. Then squirt the medicine directly in their eye. To be effective the treatment should last 5 days/twice daily. I use baby wipes to clean each eye at least twice daily & use a new wipe each time. Keep the goats isolated from the others for at least 10 days. Some use LA 200 sub-cutaneous but I really hate going that route. Pinkeye is a nasty thing to deal with but as long as you’re treating your goats, the disease will simply run it’s course. The hardest thing is preventing all your goats from getting it!

Good luck & keep me posted!

Hi,

I have a small herd of 16 differing beeds of goats. A couple of them have minor signs of pinkeye for which I have been treating with “nfz?” powder. It seems to be doing the trick. Anyway I was doctoring my little lamancha doe all up close and personal and she granted me with a big juicey sneeze… right in my eye. Is the pinkeye transmitted this way? What should I watch out for and what should I do?

christine i had the goat with the rectum problem when she would have a bowel movement her rectum would come out and go back in. Called the vet they said if it stayed out they could put it back in and stitch it up. She had two kids on Feb 12 we were not there when she had them. They are fine she is fine and the rectum has returned to normal. Thank God Just wanted you to know things are great.
