What is this?

[reicheru]

I bought a boer doeling a few weeks ago. She's nursing from the bottle vigorously [to the point where she usually needs a full face washing afterwards] and is full of spit and vinegar. What has me scratching my head is that she has what reminds me rainrot on her ears. They're like hard little scabs and when you scratch them off, it leaves a bald patch on her ears. None of her playmates have anything like this either, but I applied some ivomec pour on.

Do goats get rain rot or does this sound like something else?

hmm. I havent a clue but it sounds like a bit of pour on might do it...if it is some sort of mange youre going to need to apply again in 21 days.
What is "rain rot?" Never heard of it & I live in Pac NW all me life!

When my horses get rain rot, I treat it with a fungicide. I usually pick something for garden plants, dilute it, and sponge it on.
