HELP!!!

Oh my gosh I feel so horrible! One of our boys has hair loss on the front of three legs where he obviously curls them under to sleep and has granular looking skin around the base of his legs near his…Continue

Margaret Langley replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Great, I figured that would help too! Blu Kote is another of the great old timey wonders! Like black salve!"
Donna M Rasmussen replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Me too!!! I don't like to see my "critters" not 100% :( Sprayed blue coat on his legs yesterday and today its still there and NO purple mouth..ya!"
Rachel Whetzel replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Glad to hear you can see improvement so quickly!!"
Donna M Rasmussen replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"So happy that even the day after washing his legs and using "RESCUE" a german made cream for everything ( the only thing I had in the house) his legs already looked better! I found the pour on wormer as well, so happy I found it at my…"
Rachel Whetzel replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Also, seeing as it's a wether, and NOT peeing on himself, it's probably NOT scald... I like everyone's advice about treatment."
Rachel Whetzel replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"I would still treat the same way, if I thought there were any chance it were mites... I didn't treat my boys and they cleared up just from not being so stinking NUTSO during rut, once the peeing on themselves thing slowed down.

Donna M Rasmussen replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"No I've had him for three years and since he was a kid wethered at 4 months. I've never seen him pee on himself plus its on his back legs too. I washed his legs with warm water mixed with an benidine tonight and rubbed on some ointment.…"
Margaret Langley replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"I think that is a possibility too, Rachel! And I would say that the exact same treatments would be beneficial, wouldn't you? I don't have experience with it but was thinking that you had mentioned a similar treatment you had used!"
Rachel Whetzel replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"That looks a lot like Urine scald to me... if it were on a buck, that's what I would say it is. Since it's on a wether (and not a newly wethered, wether?) And yes, Margaret, bucks get that on their scrotum. Mine get that on their back legs…"
Margaret Langley replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Well if you don't find it just get some Nu Stock because it does kill mites too and grows hair back like crazy! It is probably cheaper and although I don't know about Eprinex, I would bet the Nu Stock is probably not as harsh, chemical…"
Donna M Rasmussen replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"wow, you guys are great I really appreciate all your help. I'm going to run out to the feed store when I drop my grand daughter off at home and pick up stuff to help him out. So far I haven't found Eprinex but trying in the…"
Margaret Langley replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Use antibacterial soap! Any antibiotic "ointment"! I wouldn't use the "creams" because they don't stay on as well as ointments and the ointment will even help to moisturize like the petroleum jelly does. Get the…"
Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Remember, the Eprinex will only work for mites, NOT a skin infection. You can try the triple antibiotic cream that people use on skin scrapes."
Donna M Rasmussen replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"Oh they have layers and layers of bedding....So I guess I should for sure wash his legs , what kind of antibiotic cream should I use? I will look for Eprinex.."
Deborah Niemann-Boehle replied to Donna M Rasmussen's discussion HELP!!!"I haven't seen that type of hair loss before. Being localized like that seems like it would be caused by something physical like having his front legs laying in urine. Have you been adding layers of fresh straw to their bedding frequently? I…"

Donna Underwood Owens said… Hi, At the moment I have three does out to different breeders, one is three years old, LADY SNOW was a gift from a friend . She had a buckling that was almost a month old. Neutered him, and now he is called Knee High. The other does are Jazz, Ginny,. At home I have a friends but hoping he will breed with Sammy Jo. They're both around 14 inches at the top of the shoulder. That is about it got goats............
have 14 chickens, one rooster and two African geese who believe they are lap dogs. A Westie terier who think he is a goat herder.
In my ole age I finally got to have a farm. Also have a Lionhead rabbit. a blue and gold macaw, and an African grey parrot. This is ;my first year with hoping for new babies in April. Than I hope to learn how to make yogart and use the maple syrup and rasperries from a neighbors farm.
