Being in the "KNOW" with goats

When I thought of getting goats, I researched them alot!  Not enough though to know that they can be so fragile.  I have experienced multiple sickness, a disease scare and continue to find that this is not easy.  Everyday I check poop, how they pee, how they breath, I obsess over every movement, every breath when I probably shouldnt.  I do endless amounts of research everyday and have spent over $1000 on vet bills and OTC meds since august of 2011.  I give shots, drench with vitamins, trim hooves, bath goats and feel like a nurse.  These boys are my babies and those who know me, know that I am ultra resposible with the health of my boys.  I have learned so much from the past few months that no "brand new" goat owner should have to go through in such a short time.  I will continue to rely on those around me who are willing to share the info necessary that will keep my boys healthy.  I will continue to research sickness and disease and will hope that "ALL" necessary information will be communicated by various organizations because knowledge is power.  I would hope that any organizations that I am a part of will understand my position and release the necessary info that will contribute to my boys in a healthy way.
