"I think it's just going to be a wait and see game on that area of the hoof. She may just have a permanent indention there. I really hope you keep us updated on this so we can all learn from it!

"I do not have an exact answer for you on that hoof, but I have an opinion :)
I think if it was severe you would have already seen tissue sloughing. Since that is not the case I believe it may gradually have healthy tissue replacement as the damaged…"

Here is a podcast about precocious udders with a vet who is a reproductive expert in goats. Hopefully it will help you with next steps, as well as give you some information on things you should and shouldn't do.

"Hi Tayla
It seems that the most likely scenario is an issue with your scale. A 2# weight gain in 3 days is more than even a standard sized kid would gain.
If he truly weighs 5.75# at 5 days he is ahead on weight gain.
I would check mom's udder to…"

Hi, Tammy. Good to meet you. My family has a small homestead in the Texas Hill Country and we raise a herd of 4 Nigerian Dwarf, 1 Boer, 1 African Pygmy and 5 Nigora Goats. Four of our does are currently pregnant, three of which are for the first time, and all due this April. We survived the recent snow and are excited for Spring. I am happy to be here with all of you. Thank you for the welcome.
