Goat going bald!

[Nanno]

Well, Cuzco is starting to hit the eject button on his coat again. Nothing I did last year (chelated zinc supplements, zinc ointment, lotions, ivermectin, stopping Cosequin, etc.) seemed to make the slightest difference. I think his old thyroid may be losing its regulatory acumen and is dumping too much "It's spring--start shedding!" hormone into his bloodstream at once. I'm not sure there's anything to be done about it without spending a lot of money on hormone therapy that may or may not work. At least it doesn't seem serious. I'll just have to blanket him at night and on cold days for a month or so till his hair grows back. Poor old fella. Aging is not for the faint of heart.
