Livestock vet needed - jerry - 05-07-2007
I need a livestock vet in the Puna area. The ones I know about are in Kona or Waimea. I will check at Dell's and Miranda's but thought someone here may have some advice.
I had three Dwarf Nigerian goats and now I have 5 with two more expected.
Thanks
Jerry

A copy of Merck's Vetrinary Manual probably couldn't hurt. That and a lot of worming medicine, aren't goats susceptible to worms?
They are small enough you could carry them to the vet if necessary? Otherwise, I think Skip Pease does house calls. He is a good vet, inexpensive (no fancy office to charge folks for) and he has an X-ray machine. I don't know if he does goats, though, but you could call and ask him.

Hi Jerry, I have two Toggenburg/Nubian does. I just got them. I haven't found a vet. that handles goats yet either. My neighbor says there is a vet in Kurtistown that handles goats. I will find out the name and let you know. I would be interested too if you find one that you like. Congrats on all of your kids.

This makes me want to move from the mainland to Puna TODAY! How cute! I don't know what a dwarf Nigerian goat is, but I want one!
Do you have these for their milk or are they mostly pets?

I could never be a farmer. I would get too attached to the creatures! I might be able to do a fish or prawn pond, as attachment is a bit less likely.

Aloha Jerry,
A friend of mine is bringing in some Dwarf Nigerian goats from the mainland. I haven't seen them yet, but she sent pictures and they are really cute. She is getting them as milking goats, I think. Will you be breeding more of them? Perhaps at some time you may want to cross breed with hers to get wider genetic lines.
A hui hou,
Cathy
