I have a goat that has a runny green nasty nose a few times a year. She is eating just fine and gives really good milk. But it's just nasty. I looked up goats with allergies online just now but there are only a few things about it. Mostly paople with gaot allergies. One person said something about lungworms and to use Ivomec. Another said to treat it like people allergies and give her Bynadril. So I might try that. None of the other goats are like her.

Has anyone had a problem like this?

Sherry, I am ok. My finger is SO much better. I am glad I went to the doctor. Thanks for asking. I hope all is well with you. I guess ya'll are staying on the farm now?

Grace, I would love some herbal remedies. Anything like that would be welcome. Thanks so much. Have you had this happen to any of your goats? She seems to be fine, it's just nasty. She does scratch her nose on the wall when she's in the stanchion. The wall is green. I guess I should wash it.

Thanks, Kris
