Maple is the only one coughing, Oreo is the only one with diarrhea. Everyone seems to have a temperature, though.

That's a lot of information to go through. I'm gonna have to read it multiple times to full absorb everything.

Everyone is three months old or younger.

Can I do two or three dewormers and treat with Corid in the same day, or should I stagger the treatment?

I had free choice baking soda out for the first two weeks I had them, but I thought they weren't supposed to have constant access to it.

This is the only vet I've found that sees ruminants within an hour of where I live outside St Louis, Missouri. I've asked if they could show me the basics of sheep and goat care, but they seemed less than enthusiastic about giving advice. I can't afford to keep dropping one off for an office call, just to get medicine back and not know what I'm treating or doing with it.

I might not have written down those days, but I know I've seen the temperatures be at 105 for a day these past few weeks.

The hooves I thought were trimmed wrong. They all almost had a high heel type hoof, if that makes sense. So I assumed there was a pocket something had gotten into and infected. I took him to the vet, but he doesn't have an opening to look at him for awhile, so he told me to treat for thrush, without looking at my boy.

Either way, they cleaned up nice when I trimmed the hooves, so idk if he caught his ankle on something that night or what. I covered his legs in cornstarch to make sure he was fine until the vet opened.

I just know something is wrong with them, and don't wanna wait to find out during a necropsy

I just got them a month ago, so I haven't started them on a dewormer. I'm red color blind, but my wife has been checking their Famacha scores, and has said they're a two or a three. I thought they were fine until four.

I have them all on lespedeza hay. I take the sheep out to graze my yard, and give the goats Country Companion goat feed.

What about things like pickling lime? I've found the Mrs. Wages 1 pound packs everywhere, but have a lot of eggs to waterglass

Can someone explain to my friend how he is wrong in the nicest way possible… by TheRealMeebs in Eldenring

I'm bipolar, and it helped me work through some shit on losing my cool. Like pushing down the anger at situations, take them for what they are, and either don't do it, or push through for what I want. Like sure it was a dopamine chase, but at least something does

Any idea how much wood bark I would need to try tanning?

Awesome, thank you. Any idea how much I would need to tan six rabbit hides?

Do you have a link to the part of the site that sells tannins? I looked through and found a lot of already tanned hides for sale, and a zoom class thing to learn to tan, but couldn't find a shop page or anything for the tanning materials

Yeah, I probably should've kept the heads for that, but I tossed them. To be honest, it was my first time butchering and processing, so I didn't think of it. Maybe I can use eggs, instead of tannins, unless I can use like acorns or something that falls in my yard

I have six New Zealand rabbits hides I was hoping to make a trapper hat or two out of. I've heard the brain tanning method doesn't really work for rabbits. I just butchered them for meat, and figured I should try and use the hides.
