Cocoa had a much shorter stub of a horn that somehow got knocked off and it was raw and tender - but not bad at all. I use the purple spray for everything. Funny though - she has a habit now of shaking her head when she meets me at the gate - the way she did the day the horn broke off.<br />Poor Thistle - but he is in good hands.<br />Still lovin' their house!!Michaelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806716677546687464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-64062731658559110032013-01-25T08:54:31.946-08:002013-01-25T08:54:31.946-08:00Sometimes a parent has to do something that disple...Sometimes a parent has to do something that displeases a child, for their own good.

We make sure when our goat babies are de-horned that they scoop out the horn burn with the hot iron and have yet to see a scur. This is also the main reason we dis bud because we use mesh fencing and a horn can easily get caught in the fencing...<br /><br />I sure hope he pulls through!
