Hey folks, have sick goats again but this time it's 2 of my young bucks, they have scours and one is off feed drinking a lot and was making a chewing motion and shaking his head. The only thing I have changed is I gave them loose free choice salt/mineral mix yesterday evening and they ate almost all of it in 24 hours, they have had the same brand salt/mineral block available to them but I just found the loose stuff, can't think of the name right off will have to go look and edit this. They've been on the same pasture and it's just a mixed grass/weed type area recently mowed. Haven't taken temps yet as hubby isn't home yet and I know they'll put up a fight. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I'll be watching this thread and hoping for some answers or an idea of the problem. Thanks, Lana
Ok, it's Morton iofixt T-M Traced-mineralized salt for all classes of cattle, sheep, and horses. This may have nothing to do with the problem but it's the only thing I have changed. These bucks are 4 months old.
