He was stretching and while stretching he peed a little blood. Hes 6 months old.
I'm new to goats so could use some help
Hes acting normal, no change in diet, has been taking electrolytes because of the heat, has access to minerals at all times, and his famacha looked fine.
What do I do here?
I already moved him to an isolated dry lot, freshly cleaned, with water, and only hay.
So, my avi I'd been using for like a 2 years now got deleted in the wave of avi deletion not that long ago.
I have photos of it. Even if I dont find a free version of this avi I'd pay monies to the artist for a copy of it. Just don't know where to start with looking for the artist who made it.
Anyways heres pictures below of the avi if anyone might know the artist or want to help me
So I picked up this dsi thats in basically mint condition other than the fact that some kid painted it with nail polish. Seller did their best to get it all off. There's 0 texture left, but there's still color residue. I'm an artist so I was thinking of painting it, but I also collect and make stickers. So I'm torn on what to do here.
If I do painti it lmk what I should paint on it. I'm a huge loz and Kirby fan if that helps.
Hi! Me and my husband have started a small homestead and I've been getting into all the made from home stuff.
What are the best beginner friendly cheeses? And what would you suggest for tools to pick up to start?
Also any advice period is appreciated.
Shes my only doe Nubian currently and also my first.
My bucks don't look like this so I'm a little worried
Famacha is fine, diet hasn't changed recently, and temp is fine. Shes been like this since I got her about a month ago or so
edit for clarification:
birthday: 1/27/26
been treated as a much younger doe for coccidia. tested for CAE, and I'm not sure if she was tested for johne's ofr not.
shes in her own pen seperated from the herd and has been since I got her about 2 months ago now.
I have been treating her with deworming pellets til recently. shes on standard goat feed but were gonna put her on growers soon.
shes never been treated with any other medicine than probiotics and electrolytes. but we have toltrazuril and albon
shes not in milk, pregnant, or nursing.
Only other symptoms shes had for anything is watery eyes and some mucus on her nose.her nose has cleared up but her eyes haven't. We tried to treat her for pink eye since one of our sheep has that rn, but it's not pink eye.
Her fur doesn't feel as soft as our other goats. But it's also curly compared to my other goats so idk if that makes a difference.
Shes been treated for lice, mites, and any other skin issues.
Only blank period I have from her upbringing is a month or two where she was purchased by a family, then returned, and I bought her very soon after that. She was with them for maybe 3 months (if even that long). This is a big reason why shes been in quarantine so long.
I'm a new goat owner so any help or suggestions are welcome
me and my husband just got a ninja 500. were using this to get the hang of things since I'm new and he's riding for the first time in a few years. once were both confident enough to ride regularly, he's gonna get a more advance one and I'm taking the ninja 500.
He had all his old gear already but I'm looking for a jacket, helmet, boots, and gloves.
I'm a 5'4 average woman who's about medium in everything. my bike is green and black so I kinda wanna get gear to match. so anything black and green that comes in women's sizes would be awesome thank youu
Going to a conspiracy theory night with my sisters and our friends. Im really into conspiracy theories (we all are) but I really only know the super serious ones. Looking for something less serious.
(Basically we're all making slide shows about our theories and showing them off) my mind just goes blank when I try to think of one to make mine about.
Hes super sweet and cuddly but independent as well. He gets along with everything and everyone even the dogs and our goats. We need a name the says how sweet he is
The tiny little dot of pink is kinda making me nervous. This is day 3 of dehydrating a sourdough started my mil gave me from her loaf.
I just used unbleached king Arthur bread flour
I said brown my husband says grey or silver
also he has yet to be named. if anyone has any good name ideas let me know <3
I see so many different things online and I'm tired of being advertised to when I just want actual product recommendations.
I have thin hair and it feels like its getting thinner. Ive tried kristeness, hairetage, mielle.
Now I'm just using cheap drug store stuff because the other things weren't working. Ive tried castor oil, and other random stuff too. Ill usually try it for a few months before deciding it's not working.
I used to cut my hair to shoulder length but I'm trytrying to grow it out. Thinking of doing one final chop to where ever my split ends end and starting fresh. I want real advice on everything and anything please.
I got some saline rinse. I already cleaned her eyes off before this is like a day or two after that. She also has a super dry spot on her nose u can see in the 2nd and 3rd picture.
Not sure what it is but I dont think it's pink eye. her nose is a little crusty too. Her FAMACHA score is fine tho. Not sure what to do if the saline rinse doesn't work. Her diet hasn't changed and she's eating like normal.
I live in a small town and am a huge coffee drinker. I tried Starbucks lavender oatmilk creamer as I'm allergic to cows milk. (The stuff at the store is the worst but other diary animals like goat or local dairy milk is fine idk why but it is what it is)
So basically I tried it when I was in a different city and I absolutely love having more options other than Carmel or brown sugar creamers. (I'm so tired of dark or rich flavors I want something else)
So the stores about an hour or more away have it in stock but no stores near by do. Is it possible to special order a cold/dairy product for pick up at a different store? Or are there any ways to order these products directly to me? I only have Walmart and Brookshires in my town. I'm kinda desperate and I just really am tired of the same 2 or 3 flavors available to me right now
I don't normally drink but I was with my friends last night. I don't feel hungover too bad but my shakes are pretty rough. I have to help my in-laws with some stuff in like 3 hours so I wanna not look like I'm cracked out lol. I got Powerade and am hydrating (sipping not chugging) and I'm eating some plain cheese pizza right now
I have a just trying to play games w my friends and my entire pc keeps crashing. Ive been able to play on vrc just fine til I switched headsets
I have an amd graphics driver and my pc is lowkey one of the best things money can buy rn so I don't think it's that. I'm using steam link bc my oculus account isn't working or letting me log in on my pc for some reason (am able to log in on my headset just not oculus on my pc)
I miss him every day. And today would've been his birthday.
There's a clump of hair from his last bath he got the day before he passed. I deshed him, and brushed his hair out, the day before he passed. I can't bring myself to remove it. So it just sits there in the corner of my shower not moving.
I had a Dr appointment all day the next day, he got out somehow and ate rodent poison in my neighbors yard. When I got home he was still warm. If I'd of been home just a little early I would've been able to help him. I stopped to get a fucking coffee on the way home. I haven't been able to go to that shop since he passed. It was my favorite spot.
It seems so stupid to people in my life. He was a cat. I didn't even own him a year before he passed. He was everything to me tho. He was my baby boy. I think if him every day, I miss him every day, I wanna throw up when I think of how I found him every day.
I have dreams of him every few nights. I dream about him coming home and I hear him meows and his purr again. Or his little foot steps down the hallway. I miss him so much. Part of me wants another cat but I know they'll never replace Joey. Ive owned and lost pets in the past. Ive lost childhood dogs and cats. This just was so different. He was unlike any cat ive ever owned.
He tried to follow me out. The last thing I said to him was "youre an inside cat today" cause we'd occasionally let him sit outside on the porch. I wish he listened to me. We still don't know how he got out.
I miss him so much.
Her name is Franny. Shes so pretty! Got her from a rehome situation due to owners not being able to be home anymore with her.
So she's got some tlc that needs done. If you can see the gunk on her tail, thats already been taken care of, and she was a little underweight so she's getting extra care with food. Other than that all is well with her! Love her beautiful spots I can't wait to see what her future kids look like. I might have to keep them lol
I'm a first time goat owner and not sure what to do here.
Hes had diarrhea for a day or two now. Ive been giving him electrolytes and probiotics but he hasn't had any change in diet, appetite, or behavior. I bought corid but I dont feel comfortable using it without guidance from someone much more experienced than me. I also don't know if its coccidia or not because other than diarrhea he hasn't had any blood or mucus in his stool.
Any advice appreciated. I'm not sure what i'm doing. my eyes are telling me it's 2 or 3 And the photo is very close to irl colors.
edit: After I made this post I signed up for a class on goat and sheep husbandry. Its gonna cover everything like plant identification, hoof trimming, kidding, identifying parasites, and treating them. this is happening on Monday.
But for now his poop solidified a bit more and he seems to be doing better. I ordered some toltrazuril it'll get here in a few days. I opted out of using corid and decided to just keep in the she'd for the chickebs. I also did a walk around the pasture he got out into and found some plants that can cause this. None are life threatening but I removed what I found and I'm working on reinforcing the gate they got out from. my suspicion on a vet visit taking too long was confirmed tho. we haven't had to take him in yet since we've only had him for a few weeks. they wanted to schedule about 3 weeks out from now.
we also got some decoxx pellets like some comments recommended and were gonna be using those as preventive. Thank you all so much for the kind comments and the genuine advice.
I have PCOS and I'm constant struggling to keep my body hair down especially facial. Ive found waxing is the most effective for me and keeps it gone the longest. I got a super cheap wax set from a bealls and it's total crap. I want something easy to clean and I want the temperature buttons to actually make a difference and it not all be scorching hot even at the lowest setting
Just wanna make sure it's not ring worm. I've owned a dog years and years ago who had that and I'm kinda traumatized lol
