Note from the Author:
The pictures, and information given, were taken in the early 80's, before I knew much about CAE prevention. With what I know know, I would take the kids away from the doe before she had a chance to lick the kids.I would take care of cleaning and drying the kids myself and dip the umbilical cord in 7% iodine. I then would bottle feed the kids heat-treated colostrum for a few feedings, and then continue feeding pasteurized goat milk.
