Goat only milking half amount?
We just bought a goat from a friend who was giving 2 quarts am and pm. When we got her everything was going great until we had to dogsit and we had a little puppy in the field with the goats. It looked like both the goats were handling the little dog well but after the first night when dh went to get the goat. She was either so mad or scared but she was visably shaken. She only gave one quart. We removed the dog to another place and spent a lot of time with her just settling her down. He tried milking her again a noon and then again that night. This morning she again only gave 1 quart. Is there anything we can do? Or has she lost her ability to milk that much till she gets freshened. I was planning on milking her through till next year.
TIA
