Goat owners 🐐

I wanted to share something important. Our local vet school is now covering less goat medicine than when I trained—and even back then, it wasn’t enough.

Many graduating vets have had little to no hands-on experience with goats. That can include things like:
• Proper disbudding technique (figure-8 method, especially important in bucks)
• Safe anaesthesia and sedation in goats
• Castration (often limited or none)
• Dehorning and scur trimming
• Correct drenching protocols and dose rates for goats (very different to sheep)
• Vaccination practices (e.g. Glanvac 3 placement and timing)
• Even recognising normal goat parameters (like temps up to ~40°C)

That’s a real gap—and it directly impacts goat owners across WA and beyond!

I’m working to change that by helping train the next generation of vets with real, practical goat experience—so we have more vets locally who are confident in treating goats.

👉 I need your help.

If you have goats that need:
• Disbudded (kids)
• Castrated
• Horn removal or scur trimming

—or any other procedures you’re happy to have students assist with (under my direct supervision), please get in touch.

💰 Costs will just be a donation for time, plus consumables and travel.

If you’re open to supporting better goat care into the future, send me a message 0401459807 😊
