This Way and That Way

Edna seems to keep herself pretty clean.  I found myself in the goat pen this evening with the camera, and I was surprised by the wide variety of positions Edna used to "primp."  She twisted first this way, then that way, fluffing her hair and cleaning herself off!

Clean the hind leg this way...

Clean this that way...

Stretch out to clean the front legs...

And twist around to fluff up the back...Edna is one agile goat!

 Here are some parts of Edna you might not see very often:

Little Chompers...

 Hooves:  These will need to be trimmed soon!

I gave Edna another dose of herbal wormer today.  Here's how it works:  

First measure out 1/2 teaspoon (she'll get a full teaspoon in a few months.)

Mix the wormer with a little bit of water in a small cup.

Suck the mixture into the drench syringe and you're good to go!

Well, maybe.  The wormer should be slowly squeezed into the side of the goat's mouth.  The goat should happily swallow it.  But Edna and I are both learning about wormer!  It was quite the experience!

 I am not sure Edna got the whole dose, but she got some!  Hopefully we will do better next time!
