I'm something of an insomniac and when I finally break down and take the damn elavil...it knocks me out for half the day.<BR/><BR/>Erin, I think many of the old time remedies involve petroleum products of some sort...or the roots or leaves of something noxious. The same rhododendren that makes my goats so sick was recommended to me as a chicken wormer. I don't think goats get that split eyelid thing. Least, I've never heard of it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Betsy...Vi-vi does seem to be working herself out. If I had gobs of money, I'd probably be hauling their asses to UT every week, too. Thank god you've been here for my damn learning curve...it's been going on for three years at this point.Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10264435407129343604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-12765529071561889882007-03-15T12:30:00.000-04:002007-03-15T12:30:00.000-04:00I question why I do this sevral times a day myself...I question why I do this sevral times a day myself.<BR/><BR/>The learning curve for goats the first year or so can be worrisome to deal with- after that, it becomes old hand. It s a DIY business. IT's just learning the DIY that can be frustrating. <BR/><BR/>I have one new goat person- 'nelly' to the max and more money than they need- who calls the vet at the drop of a hat and of course, they call the most expensive one around. I think she's on the curve up becasue she's listening to me before she brings a vet out now for the most trivial things- he told her that she'd have to abort out her doe to treat a runny nose! Luckily her babies got here OK the first time, so she's doing better.<BR/><BR/>Don't worry about Vi- it will likely work itself out.<BR/><BR/>btw> new blog on my page.<BR/><BR/>goat yodaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-49565913529012633132007-03-14T21:07:00.000-04:002007-03-14T21:07:00.000-04:00BBC--Your post contains some very wise words to li...BBC--Your post contains some very wise words to live by no matter if one is raising goats or anything else.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-57456811847039422932007-03-14T17:22:00.000-04:002007-03-14T17:22:00.000-04:00Oddly enough we all love reading about the goats.G...Oddly enough we all love reading about the goats.<BR/><BR/>Go figure.Jessica Gottliebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916660571431312740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-59989987997319081602007-03-14T10:23:00.000-04:002007-03-14T10:23:00.000-04:00oh my god my connection is so fucking slow! it jus...oh my god my connection is so fucking slow! it just took 2 minutes 15 seconds for the comments page to load....26 is normal...some days its running at 24.<BR/>ANYWAY....local remedies around here always seem to include some sort of petrol....like the guy down the valley who was putting motor oil on his horses gaping leg wound....oy.<BR/>i'm not familiar with entropion in sheep, dogs but not sheep.<BR/>someone had offered me a free churro ewe last year who had a partial split in one upper eyelid which is somethig to avoid breeding...her lambs didnt have it tho. i was told that with a partial split they can still be registered but not with full split...but still i was careful in choosing my lambs that i have now.<BR/><BR/>good luck with her.aaron ambrosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027168007655481095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5533056.post-84056945495980571912007-03-13T23:13:00.000-04:002007-03-13T23:13:00.000-04:00I can't even imagine being responsible for any mor...I can't even imagine being responsible for any more than I am right now.

But I will be up again in a few hours.<BR/><BR/>Hon, goats are goats. It's a business before it is a love of the individual and like it or not, it has to be business like. <BR/><BR/>Be wise and go with the strongest, don't let love and worry break you. This really isn't 'All Things Great And Small'. <BR/><BR/>This is life and you should only take on what you can afford to be responsible for.<BR/><BR/>I don't take on being responsible for living things that I can't properly care for.
