Thank you Landroverroy and Scarlet Dragon,
The hair loss is more shedding, no patches. I'm now wondering, having read several posts here could it be a copper deficiency? Oscar was a white kid when I picked him up in April but since then he has developed a sort of under colour, tanny/honey shade, especially round his ears, on his neck and park of his flanks. I thought it was natural but now wondering.
The mix I give them (in very small quantities) is Dobson & Horrell goat mix, I looked at the bag today and it states "no additional copper added" The lick in their house is Rockie Baby Red which contains copper but they don't appear to use it. Should I have have the vet do a blood test on Oscar or find another method of including minerals in his diet? Sorry so many questions but you are all so knowledgeable and I'm a seven month
novice.
