Has he been wormed lately...pygmy's are notorious for having weight loss due to cocci and worms. Just a thought since they were in a boarding stable.

>>My Husband and I have Recently Become the 'foster parents' of the 2 pigmy goats that are at our local boarding Stable. One of the goats seems to be losing some weight and not eating like he should be. I called the Vet and Talked to him about it he said for me to give him Raisins with his Normal Feed, Something about it Increasing his appitite.
>> This isn't the time for him to be losing weight, not this close to tghe cold Season. which worries me that he won't have enough meat on his bones to keep him warm.
>>Any thoughts or suggestions?
