 4 ways to do Treatment



1. Clean the fur every day.

As a first step, use a stiff-bristled brush to untangle and remove any adhering dirt and mud. Next, run the comb through the goat's hair to remove any remaining dirt particles. And lastly, run a soft bristle brush on the goat so that the fur is shiny. While doing this, run your hand along the goat's body to check for lumps or swelling on its body that could indicate disease or injury.

  • If you notice anything unusual or your goat's behavior changes, contact your veterinarian immediately.




2.Check the goat's hooves every day.

Keep the goat's hooves dry. When you brush your goat's hair daily, check the hooves for any damage or stuck objects, such as dirt or rocks. Remove anything stuck and make sure the nails look good. If you smell a foul odor or notice any damage, contact your veterinarian immediately.

  • You can remove any dirt or stones stuck in the goat's hooves using a nail brush or handAn unpleasant odor can occur due to a condition called nail rot, and this must be treated.
  • Usually, goat's feet should be soaked in a copper sulfate solution. Even so, consult with your veterinarian first.

3. Cut the goat's hooves.

Without healthy hooves, goats will not be able to run, climb, and jump. Unfortunately, too much and too little clipping of the hooves can cause a goat to limp. Have a professional teach you how to trim a goat's hooves, and the proper nail size for a goat. If the goat's hooves have been trimmed properly, you should trim them every 6-8 weeks to maintain the length of the hooves.

  • If you don't feel confident trimming your goat's hooves, ask a professional to do it. Better to pay a professional to do it than harm the goat.


4. Cut the goat hair if necessary.

 Use electric shears to trim the goat's hair. When the weather is cold, the areas that should always be cut include around the udder, stomach, thighs, and tail of the goat. When the weather is warm, you can trim the body hair to make the goat feel more comfortable.
  • If you're not used to using pruning shears, start in a small area first until you get used to it. It's a good idea to ask an experienced person to teach you how to use it.
  • Don't trim hair near your eyes, ears, and other sensitive areas unless you're not good at using pruning shears safely.
  • There is no fixed size for goat hair length, but consider the weather in your area. It's really not good if you cut the goat hair when the weather is very cold.
