Another concern is that the mom has developed bumps, like hives, on the right side of her udder. She still milks nicely and is eating well. I walk them in the snow and wonder if this could be an irritant, but why on half of the udder? The twins are separated from her at night and then i milk the next morning and the kids are with her during the day. Any ideas here? We're pretty much without a goat vet here in Fairbanks, AK. Thanks, Barb Rondine
Deborah,
Remember the quints born this summer ? I kept the two doelings and they are 6 months old now. For the past two weeks, or so, one of them has started mounting and vocalizing and nipping at the others and pesters them almost all the time. She developed a beard and shaggy eyebrows by four months and is very dominant.
Hi Deborah, I'm the new member going to see my vet today. I seem to have two accounts on The Goat Spot. I signed up in October 2015 but when I revisited the site a few days ago I was informed that I didn't have an account and needed to sign up (again). How do I delete the first account I set up in October??
Thanks!
Thanks Deborah!
I just found out yesterday that Nigerian Dwarf's made it to our shores, which I'm really excited about, so I'm here to learn everything I can before I get started.
Thank you for making this place, its awesome.
Happy new year :)

Dear Deborah,
I just purchased and read your new book titled, "Just Kidding". I have to say, as I read your book, tears streamed down my face as I remembered all of the times I too have had uncommon births, other goat related problems or deaths.
Your honesty about your emotions, your second guessing your self, talking to your self, wondering if you should have done any thing differently, feeling guilty, wanting to get rid of your animals to save your self heartache in the future, all these things hit home with me. I have had goats since 2007 and I can relate to all of those feelings.
I find it comforting to know that others share the same emotions, thoughts and feelings. and that I am not alone in my thought process or how I have felt in times of a crisis. I have never had any goat mentors or goat friends who lived close, but I have been severely blessed to find an awesome vet office who has two female vets who are two of the best vets I have had the pleasure of taking my animals too. Every time I bring an animal their they are so encouraging, uplifting and reassuring of my care for my animals. Having someone in a time of crisis or having someone to talk to is such a great help when it comes to animal care. Sometimes we all need a sounding board or just reassurance that we have done all we know to do.
Thank you for your new book. It was an honor to read. I an grateful for your honesty, insight and willingness to sit down and take the time to write so that others can be blessed by your experiences and words. Thank you.
