[Ag-eq] Soil-dwelling pests

[Jewel]

The wettest spring ever and you have just moved your goats from desert conditions into it!  Keep a 
close eye on their feet.  Here in Southland where we tend to have wet pastures, particularly during 
the winter, spring and autumn, our goats suffer from a foot ailment called "scald"  which makes them 
very lame.  Run your finger between the heels and if they have got it or something similar, they, 
the goats, will make it very clear to you that it hurts.  Zinc cream is a good treatment and may 
even be a cure.

Jewel:

Thanks for the suggestions; I'll have to look for it.

It keeps raining and raining here; I hope it doesn't kill what garden I have
left.  I'm thinking about getting the goats life jackets.

We are having one of the wettist years in history.
