shes definatly a very pretty flower :D and yup DEFINATLY comming around. just whent out to medicate her again and she actually walked over to me BEFORE i sat down...
the pocket full of raisins im sure doesnt hurt lol.

her upset tummy isnt getting any better so today i started her on Cocci treatment too...it was her last day for this batch of safeguard, so i started her on a 5 day sulmet...sulmet is WORSE tasting than safeguard so im going to try mixing a little honey in with it because that one she did fight...
going to give her 1 more b12 tomorrow then again friday then give it a week...figure a 5 day course on b complex should 'catch up" if shes lacking a refresh on friday then a repeat in a week at the end of her course of anitbiotics.
going to keep the antibiotics going for a min of 7 days (sunday) rather than ending tomorrow at 5...not yet sure if she realy needs a 14 day course but i may go 14 days just to be safe.
im SOOO glad i know how to do all this stuff myself...could you imagine how mucha vet would charge?!

anywho.

got the bunny hutches clean...
Haystack my meaty mix doe is just about ready...Silver was interested and tried, but is inexperienced and couldnt make contact...
bigwig showed NO interest *grr* but he has a sore foot so that MIGHT be why? of he may still be recovering from the heat...

either way going to try haystack in with silver tomorrow again and hopefully this time he can make a connection :) i think once he gets it figured out hell be fine and assuming he does ok with haystack ill then keep trying him with blackbery untill they both get it right...im hoping bigwig just needs a little while longer of cooler temps, and ill be putitng bluebell and strawberry both inwith him untill both are bred...i could put bluebell in with silver but strawberry can only be bred to bigwig.

got 1 bag of trash removed from the pile o old shed...going to take a while..
got enough wood pulled out to make 2 planting beds too...

and managed to get the electric fenceline cleared off and weed wacked.

all in all not bad....not everything i WANTED to do...but glad i got the fence checked and trimmed up.

soooo much work to do....lol.
need to start chearing out the brush inside the fence too now its STARTING to look better as im doing it bit by bit...but lordy i need a chainsaw...or a man with a chainsaw...or my daddy with a chainsaw LOL!

wonder what the laws are here about having a small house built on my land...mabe if we could put a little cottage on here...hmmm...ideas ieas lol

My goodness you're busy!

Glad Miss DAizy is coming around! I'm just guessing - but is her upset tummy diarrhea related? As you know, being on antibiotics probably isn't helping her tummy problems - have you thought about giving her some yogurt to try and re-establish some beneficial bacteria in her gut? You might have already done that and I just missed it... Some folks will tell you to try to steal a cud from one of your other goats and give it to Daizy - but dang - has anybody ever done that without losing a finger or choking a goat? I tried it once and then resorted to yogurt, lol!

You are indeed lucky that you know how to do all these things - you're sure saving yourself a bundle!
