When I had to drench my GG goatling for the best part of two weeks at least twice a day, we got it down to a quick routine and she was not so stressed about it after a few days. I just went in quickly, pushed her into the corner, so that my left hand was under her jaw (lifted her head up at the same time) and put the thumb through over her lower jaw, just before the back teeth start and quickly down with the fluid onto the back of her tongue. She just seemed to accept it, really by that stage I was a bit beyond caring... I wasn't rough, but quick and decisive. She had twins of really quite good size and milked ok, so it really was just the burden of the two kids at the end of her pregnancy. I also walked her almost every day round and round the field, just to make sure she was getting some exercise.
Hope Rowan is getting on ok - when is she due?
