Health & Wellbeinghi..i would like to ask how to cure the goats dry hairs..it has more on like dandruff in their skin
Hello there, and thanks for using Boop by Petco! I strongly suggest having Lance and Nana evaluated for skin parasites or other medical conditions before treating them for simple dandruff. Copper deficiency, mites, and fungal infections can cause white flaky skin, and I also noticed in your pictures that one of your goats is missing hair around the eyes, nose, and mouth. This is characteristic of certain kinds of mites. I strongly suggest a vet visit to check them out. If everything comes back clear, consistent brushing can help with flaky dandruff, as well as making sure the goats have enough fats in their diet. Feeding a commercial goat food can help with this. Some goat fanciers also suggest adding black sunflower seeds into the diet, which might increase skin oil production. A good bath can also help! Good luck, and I hope that Nana and Lance are happy, healthy goats!
