If it were my goat, I'd try spreading some on a cracker and seeing if he would eat it like that. Good luck with it!! Celia,

I took him to the vet and he couldn't get the penis out because the person I bought him from neutered him too early. (that's where the stones likely form)The only thing they can do is surgery and then it's just to bide some time in hopes the stones dissolve. I just ran out and tried to get him to eat the pumpkin but he wouldn't have anything to do with it (my goats are very picky eaters for some reason). Is there anything I can mix with it that will make it more appealing to them? They won't eat anything accept their grain, hay, bread and crackers, and of coarse the weeds. I only give an occasional cracker because I know they shouldn't have much... Thanks for any help, I love my babies! I have a whether who has a stone now and I am so worried about him.

Chickens and pigs too! It's also a natural de-wormer. I've never read about giving it to sheep, but I'd think if it's good for goats it's probably good for sheep too :) Check into it! Kotiäiti,

And they care it with vitamin C. Just mix C-vitamin with water. So many days that the symptoms go away. That pumpkin is interesting. Do you know is it only canned or could fresh help? (we don´t have canned pumpkin :( ) I´m just pondering, can pumpikin prevent stones? So, if I gave sometimes pumpkin to my ram (they get also easy kidney stones)he wouldn´t get any stones...

I read where chicken broth is like a natural antibiotic and the broth also flushes their kidneys out. canned pupkin is good for sick cats who need a vitamin boost.
