What did you do today?

[Kat]

Thanks for sharing that and I am really sorry it happened; my vet told me that a farm near me lost 2 of their goats to this (not pack goats.)  It is a background concern in my mind.  Do you think both of these Rambo-line goats became dehydrated on the trail and this precipitated the attack?

I stuff one of these  ultralight dog water bowls in the pocket of my backpack for quick water stops on the trail for my goats. I got a taller custom size for them.  I've found at least a couple of them will always drink out of it, they don't seem to hydrate enough at streams while we're hiking.  I am hoping this will help prevent stones - along with the proper balanced calcium/phosphorus diet of course.  I also feed a bit of ammonium chloride 2x/month as a precaution and AC is in their mineral mix.
