Anyone else have experience with these symptoms. We use Cydectin with alot of success. Oh, and we all love pics, so post them anytime you feel the need! The buck has very large flakes of skin shedding as well as crusty areas around his legs.

I did deworm all of them, that didn't seem to help. Hi there, it sounds like you could have a naked goat in a few days. Two goats losing hair and have flakey skin. So glad you joined us. I thought things were being kept clean and they were being fed properly but still here we are.Having lice is not a reflection of your management skills, it just happens sometimes. They prolly just need to be poured.could be a number of things.. lice/mites comes to mind.. have you treated.. look closely at their skin and see if you see any flakes/movement.. are they itching/scratching/biting themself- sign of buggies.. the bigger issue may be mineral imbalance- are you feeding a LOOSE mineral supplement (not the hard as a rock block) if not get some.. and I would think a zinc supplement may not hurt either.. zinc defieciency = hair loss.When my goats fur was falling out like that it was mites. The important clinical symptoms of common diseases have been given, only to help the farmers to detect the sick goat at the earliest stage. I have three in a herd of almost 45 at that point that did it (still have them and they do it every year) have a freind that has them to and did the same thing. Not all chemicals are harsh and they have their place. I treated them with Ivermectin every 10 days 3 times.I was wondering about mites too but they are not scratching or rubbing at all. One of our goats has lost weight, he is eating the same as the other goats, but continues to lose weight. Today when I was out feeding, I noticed he has hair loss around his ears and on his nose.

Friday 2020-07-10 18:20:19 pm : Goat Losing Hair And Weight | Goat Losing Hair And Weight | | Does-Cuman-Help-You-Lose-Weight I have a few boar crosses that shed down to the skin, don't know if it is from being an african breed or what, but the first year I had them I had the vet out and he found no cooties. Maybe mange but how would they contract that?
Hair loss around eyes can be mites or zinc deficiencyGreetings and welcome to BYH from Tn! I am thinking lice or mange.

JavaScript is disabled. Better safe then sorry and have the vet out to do a skin scraping now and be sure.From experience with something that sounds simular, I vote MITES! This is really disturbing because the hair is falling out in big chunks and all that is left behind is pink skin.

I am horrified that my animals could become infected with this. JavaScript is disabled. As I remember my goats did not appear to be scratching themselves any more than usual, but sure enough the mites were still present.
The doe (pregnant) is simply loosing her hair with no flaking skin. By all means post away when the desire strikes you, especially if you have questions (provide as much detail/info as possible and pictures truly help)... With all the great folks here, generally someone will respond in no time at all. I would definetly catch her at all cost and worm her, it can cause hair loss, weight loss and very rough steel wool like feeling hair. I left the buck this long because he is not scratching or rubbing. You must log in or register to reply here. Please make yourself at home!They have no external parasites and I had a fecal done on the male when he lost weight initially and it came back negative.Typically most treat at home. Our cows get bare skin spots in big hunks if they have mites or lice...I know goats' oil is supposed to repel most of the lil buggers but they can still cause problems.

The diagnosis of the goat diseases not only based on the clinical symptoms is most difficult, as many diseases resemble one another.
