My vet is a neonatal and emergency specialist with horses. But he also knows camelids. When I had a 2 day old cria with diarrhea, he said some animals have issues digesting milk at first and to give 1-2 doses of Lactaid dissolved in water. Can also give 1-2 doses of Imodium to control the diarrhea until the Lactaid works. I have only had to do this twice in over 10 years, but it worked both times. This is only for newborns. Once they are a week old, it will be something else. And prime time for a newborn to go septic is 3-4 days old. Either they are born septic or get the infection through their navel. ALWAYS dip the navel and make sure they get colostrum.

On our second week of goat ownership one of our baby goats strangled themselves in the fork of a tree. I had just gotten her to start eating out of my hand the day before.

The other 10% just brought home their new goats 2 days ago 😂

Same can be said of chickens and ducks. I've lost a calf as well. That's farm life (and death).

not one thing was ansered, just a lotta talk what not to do

Human grade diatomaceous earth for Parasites. Works great for us humans and we also give it our dog. Wonder how effective it would be for goats?

How have goats survived up to this point? It sounds like they are on the verge of death constantly. We had goats for several years when I was young and we never had any problems or had to have a vet. What has happened?

Good information an good video

Can you leave your Buck on pasture 5-6 hours instead of hay? During the spring? I have loose minerals and some grain GMO free/

whats road felt

I should be fine in the desert. Get a bit of rain (and weeds) in the winter, and monsoon (and weeds) in summer.

So if I live in a very dry climate (New Mexico) do I not need to worry about parasites? We have sand with just some bushes, no green pastures like you have, haha.

Anybody else watching the amazing UKposts channels coming out of Ugandan goat farmers?? 👃👃👃✌️🇨🇦

Electronic ear tags and a good set of automatic scales will tell you when any of your animals are losing weight. That's a common first symptom of anything going wrong.

Good video, but your channel's already persuaded me not to get goats.

3rd month of pregnancy? How long are goats pregnant for?

I call corn my goat Elle-May's, goat crack. Sometimes she will GO plum silly for corn 🌽... 🌽=🐐 crackout... 😆

I need help

Shes amazing!!!

Diatomaceous earth

Ivermectin works

Yeah groups are silly to cure anything but great for ideas for research and common sense. 🙏running hands on all of your animals and kids is critical, your kids, meaning humans ones will object so hug them, kiss them and search them when they are not looking, teens can be tough about this, lol😂

Have you moved yet

LOL unless your raising goats as pets ... lol theyre going to get butchered for meat, sold for meat, not producing optimally which means lol to the sale barn ... soooo

This is comedy. I'm out of here.
