Hiya,
Quick question please people.
I have a nubian / pygmy cross which was a rescue goat, who we think is approx 2 years old. We have had her for 6 months and she is now back to full health.
I have just introduced 2 Golden Guernsey whethers who are 7 months old.
For the first week, everything was normal - usual headbutting and sorting themselves out, but all settled down. Now, after 10 days, Cindy-Loo has come into heat and got herself all excited. Usual signs - bleating day and night, wagging her tail. This time though, its different. She is following the smaller GG (Timothy) around non stop, but ignoring the larger GG. Her bleating occasionally comes out more like a pigs oink or a cows moo. Yesterday I could swear she was trying to talk human. She has also developed a a snort, and I cant tell if its connected or an isolated issue.
Sounds to me like she has dust up her nose. She is eating and drinking as normal, and has loads of energy. As normal.
So, I have 2 concerns. Has my Cindy-Loo got a snotty nose and does she need treatment, or is the sniffling associated with her seeing boys for the first time? Im hoping it goes away in a day or two when she realises the boys are not quite what they appear....
OR
is there a chance the little boy hasnt been castrated correctly and is still smelling like a complete billy to her?
If so, how can I check, other than have a look?
I have a video of the funny noises, but cant see how to post it here!
Thanks in advance!
