Ear trouble

[luv2farm]

I'm newto goats, but I have a Nubian that started shaking her head and flopping her big ears yesterday. I think her ears are itchng. I looked inside and do not see any fluids or "dirt". What do you think it could be and how would you suggest treating. I am milking her.

Ear infection ?? Can you take her to a vet ?? or it could be something totally not about her ears..head..etc. lI would get her checked out and since she is a new goat anyways the vet could give her a check up anyways. If you are milking her for your family you want to make sure she is healthy. It's worth the couple of bucks..uh..no pun intended..to get her looked. Good Luck !!

Gnats are biting up here - have you got them too? That will make any goat flap its ears!
