Thanks for the encouragement, I sure hope the rest of the year is great a trouble free for everyone!
I found the article that was on the old forum posted by Bwana Ken. I don't think he's found his way here, would love to know how it worked out for his goat. He sounded like bent leg was his issue and I think that is different from this, but am still doing all the reading I can. I'm still confused because it sounds like both are caused by too high protein or calcium/phos imbalance. We decided to raise these kids on only high quality orchard grass hay due to our past issue with AC. The reading I've done suggests high growth rate can be the cause, but I don't think he's spurting up that fast. At 9 months old he's 84 lbs and 29 inches tall. May try the Vit D as suggested in the past post mentioned.
