We have three Nigerians that we have found have lice.  Our vet told us to use Frontline Lice spray for dogs on them.  I was able to find Advantage spray, and was wondering if anyone has used this before.  

Thank you all for the responses.  This definitely a challenging time, and one that is extremely hard since it was our dogs that we love.  

Has anyone every found another home for their dogs.  I just don't want to put them down, and they are loving dogs.  They just do not do well with livestock.  

This is my first time posting on this forum, and unfortunately it is under a sad topic.

Me and my wife have two dogs a German Shepard and a Staffordshire Terrier.  We have had them for almost 5 years.  It was through our dogs that we meet at the dog park.  They actually introduced us, and we have been married now for almost two years.  We both wanted to start our own homestead and two years ago bought a few acres with a home to create our own little homestead.  Obviously the dogs came with.  About 9 month back we added to our property 2 baby goats that we were going to start our herd from.  We installed an in ground electric fence to separate the dogs from the area the goats and chickens had.  We knew that they would not get along, and we needed to keep the separate.  The goats and chickens have their own fenced in acre. Everything seemed to be ok until last week we were on vacation and got a call from our friend who was watching the animals for us that she came home to find the dogs in the fenced in area for the goats, and the goats were dead.  We are both heartbroken that the dogs would do that, and we are at a loss of what to do.  We want to continue to follow our passion and keep goats on the property but don't know if that is possible with the dogs at this point.

I guess I am reaching out to see if anyone else has gone through this or if anyone has any advice or tips or what to do.

Thanks in advance

I recently acquired a 3 year old lovely lady. She is a Pygmy goat and lost her best friend a few months back. My friend had to move and we agreed to adopt her. She has been with us for a few days and is slowly aclimating to her new home. She is not grazing, but is eating her feed. She mainly stay in her goat shed. I want to get her a new companion and have been looking into getting a young male, and see if we can start a new herd with them. I am new to having goats and would love any tips on how to best set this all up.

Hampus,
I took your survey, and wanted to bounce some things I am working on off you. I have a dog waste removal service, and was looking into creating small homestedd size methane digestors for the dog waste. I would be combined with other materials into the slurry. They have been created before, but I am not sure the technology created behind them. It seems like a simple model. Are you looking to create them and be able to distribute and sell them or is this just for school?

I am looking to turn two 250 gal old oil tanks into a methane digestor for manure. I was curiuos if the old oil residue in the tanks would deminish the the anerobic process.
